Last March, Waterford City and County Council's elected members voted by 16 votes to 2 not to go ahead and build a seven-bay halting site at Carrickphierish Road, in Waterford.
No proper reasons for the decision were given, it is claimed. They claim that the proposed development was adopted by the elected members in early 2020 by the council as part of its Traveller Accommodation Programme. The elected members also failed to take into account that the nearby Traveller group housing scheme is currently overcrowded.
In their action against the Council the applicants, represented by Ciaran Toland SC, instructed by solicitors for FLAC, seek an order quashing the elected member's decision.
We elected the officials and this was one of the few times they represented the public. There is enough traveller accommodation in the area already.
