Council to take action against Travellers

CORK County Council is to take legal action in an attempt to move on a group of Travellers, some of whom have been involved in a violent feud.

Assistant county manager Theresa White confirmed news of the impending court action yesterday, just minutes after a delegation from Bantry had informed council officials of the level of fear which stalks the streets of the town.

They were referring in particular to an attack on Travellers last Monday week at an unofficial halting site in the town.
