The Supreme Court has upheld an appeal taken by a Traveller family against their eviction from a site owned by Clare County Council, with five Court justices ruling unanimously in favour of the McDonagh family

The Court upheld the family's appeal against their eviction, with five Supreme Court justices ruling unanimously in favour of the McDonagh family.

The ruling, according to the IHREC sets out that it is ultimately for a Council to convince the courts in any future cases that they have fulfilled their obligations, and for the Courts to assess the proportionality of the Council’s actions. "This judgment is being delivered just over 100 years since the first Provisional Government for an independent Irish State was called into being. It is nonetheless salutary to reflect that one hundred years later a distinct group - the Irish Traveller community - still remains a vulnerable minority at the margins of Irish society. The members of that community have struggled for recognition of their own cultural identity and way of life.

If they are not subjected to / do not abide by all laws that an Irish citizen is required to abide by, kick them out of the country. End of. Ffs

👏😏 Good. Fair play to those judges. Dead right! Enough of this small town, Parish Pump, lawless, exclusionary bigotry. The law👇😠 is the law👇😠

'The members of [the Traveller] community have struggled for recognition of their own cultural identity and way of life, he said. While any dispassionate observer would recognise that there has been fault on both sides...' That's putting it mildly!

A colossal waste of money by ClareCoCo when they could have been helping the family instead

What about people who lost their homes during the crash, had they no constitutional right,🤔

Some justice finally

So they can unlawfully occupy land but be protected by constitutional rights that allow them to stay on the land? Cos ' they've nowhere else to go ' hahahaha only in Ireland,

“the fact remains that the legal system has not found it altogether easy to accommodate the distinct cultural traditions of the travelling community” It’s great to see this finally being addressed!

Now which McDonagh family is that

Who paid for this appeal ? 🙄

DON’T FORGET ROOM FOR THE PONY🤬
