Woman vows to continue her obstruction of Council staff at Ballyvolane Halting Site
A Cork mother has vowed to continue her obstruction of council staff at a Ballyvolane halting site until her eight-year wait for social housing comes to an end. Sarah McCarthy began her protest yesterday when she refused to give council workers access to a shed adjacent to her property which supplies electricity to a number of the site’s dwellings. It's understood that Cork City Council obtained court injunctions to evict a number of residents of the halting site so improvement works could be carried out.
