North Tipperary County Council will next Monday seek a High Court injunction aimed at preventing a group of protesters from maintaining a blockade close to a house which has been allocated to a family who are members of the Travelling Community.The local authority are seeking an order from the court as a result of an on-going blockade, which began early last month when local residents discovered that a house at Cullenagh, Ballina (pictured left) in Co Tipperary had been acquired by the Council for the purpose of housing the ten strong O'Reilly family. Today the Council was granted permission by Mr Justice Roderick Murphy to notify those individuals involved in the blockade of their intention to seek an injunction, aimed at restraining the protesters from interfering and trespassing upon the property.
The judge made the matter returnable to early next week, according to breakingnews.ie.
