To ask the Manager for a detailed update on the issues arising at Cookstown Cottages, which were listed as a headed item at four separate Area 2 meetings and which has not been listed as a headed item since February, 2007?

The County Law Agent has been instructed to initiate legal proceedings through the Circuit Court against the landowners in relation to (i) the unauthorised placing of mobile homes/caravans on the lands, and their use as dwellings, (ii) the setting out of the entire curtilage of the dwelling in hard surface and its use for the parking/storing of caravans and motor vehicles.

Counsel has been engaged and briefed in this matter.  Affidavits have been drawn up and are currently being finalised.
