Locals block Traveller site for survivors of Carrickmines fire

A majority should not have a veto over where Travellers live, Pavee Point said yesterday.

The Traveller support group was commenting on the blockade mounted by locals at a proposed temporary site in Dublin that had been offered to survivors of last weekend’s halting site fire.

A number of residents from Rockville Drive have used a number of vehicles to block access for workmen to prepare the one-acre field.
