Date Published: 09-Apr-2009

The City Council and a group of travellers currently illegally camped ion the Headford road are due back before the courts this afternoon.Yesterday, the High Court dismissed an application by the Travellers for an injunction preventing the City Council from moving them from a site near Barna waste on the Headford road.Members of the Delaney, McGinley, Donavan, Stokes and Corcoran families applied for the injunction preventing the Council enforcing a Circuit Court order to have them move from the temporary halting site.The families' application for an injunction was dismissed on procedural grounds by Mr. Justice John Edwards.The injunction was sought as part of judicial review proceedings against the City Council's decision to have the travellers moved.Margaret Ní Riada of Galway Traveller Movement says the travellers will this afternoon seek permission to appeal the Circuit Court decision....
