More evictions of Travellers, in Cork and Clare

After eleven Traveller families were forced to leave Mahon halting site in Cork last week, (see Indymedia newswire post on May 20th) a further nineteen have been ordered to move by Gardaí based in Granabraher. The families are living along the back road in Knocknaheeny between Apple Computers and the Telecom exchange at the top of Fairhill. They are due to be evicted between 7.00am and 8.00am on Wednesday 28th. News is also coming through that Travellers recently evicted from Mahon halting site in Cork are now facing the same treatment in their home county of Clare. The six families of Mongans (all related) were evicted from Mahon halting site for reasons of “health and safety” according to Damien O’Mahony of Cork Corporation. The Mongans have been ordered to move from Ennistymon by Saturday morning or they will be “towed away”. Any solicitor in interested in helping?
