Bishop urges Travellers to respect homes in Hollyhill, Cork

The Bishop of Cork has urged Traveller families who moved in to a new €5m housing scheme to respect the facility.

John Buckley was speaking yesterday as he helped residents of the old St Anthony’s halting site in Hollyhill, on Cork’s northside, relocate some 200m to the new purpose-built group housing scheme.

It has been designed to accommodate members of 16 Traveller families who were living on the cramped old site opposite Apple’s sprawling European headquarters.
