Complaints over new site of mobile home ordered from estate

A mobile home that was removed from a housing estate last week, following a court order, has now been placed next to a Cork cemetery, prompting complaints.

Last Friday, Judge Brian O’Callaghan directed that Emma O’Driscoll and Jason O’Donoghue, who live in the mobile home with their three children, were to remove it from the green area of Beechfield Estate, in Fermoy, within 12 hours, after which the council could do so, “with or without the assistance of An Garda Síochána”.

During the court hearing, it emerged that the couple had refused an offer of emergency accommodation from Cork County Council.
