Traveller group hits out at those responsible for dumping caravan on cleaned up site

A Traveller advocacy group has blamed members of the Travelling community for dumping a caravan on an illegal dump site - adjoining an overcrowded halting site - as a massive clean-up nears completion.

The Traveller Visibility Group (TVG) said those responsible for rolling the old caravan down a steep embankment at Ellis’s yard on the northside of Cork city, are either living in, or known to the residents of, the sprawling Spring Lane halting site next door.
