The crowd up there have no respect for property or laws and terrorise anybody who dares to chance walking along that stretch of road or indeed drive along it. Eventually that entire road will be a no go area And I suspect that's part of their plan.

In regards to this place I don’t think it’s over run yet, it might still have hope of the families there keep them all in check. I don’t live up there but I know ppl who do and they have to be always vigilant especially around Halloween when they call around to scope out houses according to the residents I’ve spoken to.

Perfect spots then to hide drug and cash stashs . Travellers have all the rights, the lawabiding have very few if not none in this country. Travellers are now richer than those they are robbing.

I'm not sure who or what is doing the earth moving or for what purpose but I can't see how it will end with a nice estate or anything. Seems to be planning permission up in the field opposite the gaeilscoil now too. I must stop and take a look at that next time I'm passing. It's in the section that they were evicted from a couple of years ago.
