Illegal Encampment Returns To Curragh Weeks After Tanaiste Simon Harris Vowed Zero Tolerance

Multiple caravans and cars are now on the site.

Weeks after Tanaiste Simon Harris told Kfm that every lever at his disposal will be utilised to clamp down on illegal encampments on The Curragh, another encampment has been set up.

Multiple caravans and cars are now on the site.

Speaking to Kfm about the ongoing issue in March, Tanaiste Simon Harris said there will be no tolerance for such encampments in the future, adding that he intends to take "a very hands-on approach" to the issue.

At the time, he said he is "not messing around".

Last year there were 25 separate illegal encampments set up on the Curragh.

One encampment included up to 35 caravans.

It cost €200,000 to clean it up.
