Cork housing estate standoff over mobile home

Residents of a Cork housing estate have blockaded a truck in the area, and say they will not allow it to leave until they are satisfied it will remove a mobile home it delivered to their green on Thursday.

However, the family of five living in the mobile home say they will not leave until Cork County Council offers alternative accommodation.

The family — with three children aged four, two, and five months — claim they have been five years on the local authority’s waiting list.
