Kilkenny County Council built no housing and failed to use any of the money in this area. No parks, playgrounds etc. Houses were sold in these estates with the understanding that social housing wasnt included. Kilkenny coco are purchasing these houses privately with a special fund especially for travellers. These are the only people being housed.

If it's council owned, there is a procedure in place which involves strict protocol and takes time (to make sure the travellers can't sue for racism afterwards). Once the managerial person decides that they are trespassing, an order is made and served on them which requires them to leave within 24 hours. For Ferrybank, the issue is getting someone from Kilkenny or Waterford Co Co to make that decision, as the person who does it could very well be putting their job on the line. Now, if it's a private estate, then the written complaint has to come from the owners of the estate, which you can imagine can be very hard to track down. The Gardai cannot do anything until a written complaint is received, and even after getting that there us a numbers issue, that being that thrre needs to be a high number of Gardai present at the removal of said travellers, which can be a logistical nightmare depending on the day/time. What needs to happen is that some overpaid muppet needs to make a motion in the Dail to make new regulations which outright ban travellers from parking up where they want. But none of them have the brains, balls or bother about them to do it, for fear of a racial attack. Personally, I blame Pavee Point and human rights activists.
