Family appeal to council to remove ‘rubbish mountain’

A FAMILY appealed directly to Cork’s city manager yesterday to remove a “mountain of rubbish” from the grounds of a vacant council house next door.

The Constance family on the city’s northside was forced to go public when the situation became unbearable over the weekend.

Soaring temperatures produced an overpowering stench from the heaps of rubbish which have been dumped in the front and back gardens of the boarded-up house next door to their Fairhill home.
