Council bangs on door of ‘at risk’ historic mansion

THESE are the scenes Cork County Council officials were unable to view — after they failed to get inside a historic mansion in Douglas.

The Irish Examiner obtained the pictures recently, which show the dilapidated state of Vernon Mount.

The county council, concerned about the state of the house, recently contacted the agent responsible for running it for its owner, American-based millionaire Jonathon Ross.
