Gardaí seek closure of unofficial halting site

GARDAÍ are to ask Cork County Council to close an unofficial halting site following a second night of trouble there.

Gardaí were called to the site, adjacent to the northern end of the Glanmire bypass, at around 1.30am yesterday after receiving reports that passing cars were being stoned.

A garda spokesman said that gardaí kept a presence in the area for most of the night, but didn’t make any arrests.
