Hogan should apologise for what he’s done, says family at heart of row

The family at the centre of a Traveller re-location row have called on Environment Minister Phil Hogan to apologise for assuring a constituent that the family would not be housed nearby.

Patrick Carthy and his wife Brigid Carthy said yesterday they had no trouble from their neighbours since moving a month ago into a council-owned bungalow about 4km from Kilkenny City.
