There is another Carrickmines waiting to happen. I represent the constituency in Cork where Spring Lane is located. Mr. Joyce will be well aware of Spring Lane. It is a Carrickmines that is going to happen. The reason it will happen is because of the underlying discrimination and prejudice against the families living on that site. That is led at community and local level. It is being fostered because at institutional and State level it has been almost made acceptable to discriminate against Travellers.
