Court challenge over decision on Traveller halting site 

Ellen Delaney and Mary O'Reilly, who are sisters in law, have brought judicial review proceedings against Waterford City and County Council.

A High Court challenge has been brought over a decision not to proceed with a Traveller halting site in Waterford city.

Last March Waterford City and County Council's elected members voted by 16 votes to 2 not to go ahead and build a seven-bay halting site at Carrickphierish Road, in Waterford.
