Four Traveller families still living in an exclusion zone around Dublin Airport's new north runway have refused rehousing offers, the High Court has heard.

Whether or not those offers have been reasonably refused will have to be considered as part of injunction proceedings by the DAA seeking vacant possession of the land at Collinstown, the court also heard.
