Up to 40 caravans ordered to leave retail park

Up to 40 caravans arrived at around 10pm on Thursday night at Fota Retail Park in Cork and yesterday the park owners were granted an order for them to vacate the property.

Barrister Jane Anne Rothwell applied to Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin at Cork Circuit Court yesterday for an ex-parte injunction against those who had moved their caravans onto lands which are part of Fota Retail Park in East Cork.

Ms Rothwell said that when one of the owners of the land directed one of the caravan owners to leave the property, the man replied: “Go off, boss, and get your injunction, I’ll get 24 hours to leave.”
