Activist Christine Gibson claims she was forced from her home illegally.

By Iveren McCallion

An activist who lost a court battle against the Carlingford Ferry development has told Q Radio she was "illegally evicted" from her home.

Christine Gibson took the council and DAERA to court over claims planning approval didn't consider environmental impact.

In court she argued a proper impact assessment on wildlife and the shoreline hadn't been carried out.

She was appealing a previous ruling against dismissal of a judicial review.

Soon after losing in court, Christine says she was given just fifteen days to move out of her home of four years near the Greencastle terminal.

She told Q Radio she's been ostracised since taking legal action:

Removal van at Christine Gibson's former home.

Since this story was broadcast, a formal notice to quit her property has been hand delivered to Christine Gibson, giving her the required 28 days notice.
