Cork County Council seeks to move mobile home

Cork County Council will today seek a court injunction either compelling the occupants of a mobile home in the middle of a housing estate to leave the area or granting the local authority the power to remove them.

Last week, Emma O’Driscoll and Jason O’Donoghue, who had been living with their three children in a caravan on the green area of Beechfield Estate in Fermoy, had a larger mobile home delivered to the green, provoking an angry response from local residents.

The couple say they ordered the larger mobile home as the cramped and damp conditions in the smaller caravan were negatively impacting their five-month-old daughter’s health.
