Failure to secure best site for Carrickmines survivors 'a sad indictment of our society'

A group representing the Traveller and Roma community has expressed its shock at the temporary accommodation arrangements for survivors of the Carrickmines fire in south Co Dublin.

Yesterday evening, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council said a temporary halting site will be put in place at a carpark on council land near the Ballyogan Works Depot.
