Sorcha Crowley "Do you want a bloodbath on your hands?" asked young Marie McGinley inches from the face of Sligo County Council Chief Executive Ciarán Hayes as he sat in the Council chamber on Monday.
A representative of the Traveller Support Group has claimed he was told by two senior housing officials within Sligo County Council that the Glenview halting site was being earmarked as accommodation for the McGinley family of Connaughton Road.
40 new jobs have been announced by International Retail Solutions company 'E3 Retail' who are opening a Software Development and Sales Centre in Sligo town.
Patrick and Nora Ward, their five children, three married sons, three daughters-in-law and three grandchildren currently live in Glenview Halting Site. They are not happy at the prospect of their halting site being refurbished for another Traveller family.
A Sligo cycling club has become the first in Ireland to introduce a high visibility kit for all of its members, in response to a surge in fatal and serious accidents across the country.
Councillor Declan Bree opposed the Part 8 planning proposal in respect of proposed works at the Glenview Halting Site, supported by Cllr Gino O'Boyle.
Sinn Féin Councillor Chris MacManus voted in favour of refurbishing Glenview Halting Site.
Paul Deering Speculation is mounting that Fianna Fáil's Seamus Kilgannon could be the next Mayor of Sligo Municipal District.
