What makes you assume they were lying, from what I understand they do indeed want to clear the area for storage, exactly what was said to the OP. The police were "not interested" because they came, spoke to the correct people (not the sub contractors) and were satisfied everything was above board. My racial stereotyping comment was made because the OP knew these men to be Irish from speaking to them and jumped to the conclusion they were travellers. I agree he did not mention it in his comment but I still believe he was stereotyping, would he have thought that if they had a different accent. My opinion, of course.
