Call for Cork site to be included in new Traveller accommodation plan

The controversial site on the northside of Cork city, where a massive illegal dump clean-up is underway alongside an overcrowded Traveller halting site, must be included in a major new Traveller accommodation plan.

The call came last night from Sinn Fein's Cllr Mick Nugent, who chairs the Traveller Consultative Committee, as contractors continued their work to remove an estimated 200 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish from the Ellis’s Yard site.
