The authorities staged a 'welfare day' for animals kept by families living on a Traveller halting site on Cork’s northside on Thursday.

The event at the Spring Lane site in Ballyvolane was organised by Cork City Council, through its Community, Culture and Placemaking Directorate in conjunction with the ISPCA.
