High Court reportersA High Court judge has refused to give effect to a 10-year-old order allowing Tipperary County Council to “evict” unauthorised mobile homes, caravans and animals off land used as group housing for members of the Traveller community. That order required the occupants of the land in question to remove any unauthorised structures, mobile homes, caravans and animals from the site. Earlier this year, the Circuit Court granted the council permission to pursue enforcement of the 2013 order. The judge said that the land in question had been used to accommodate members of the Traveller community since the 1990s. This included works to improve sanitation on the site, the removal of some 31 unauthorised structures, animals and tonnes of rubbish from the property.
