Council tenants refuse to pay rent over ‘squalor’ in area
Several residents of Noonan’s Road in Greenmount are refusing to hand over weekly rent payments of between €70 and €80 to Cork City Council until they see action on the ground.
They say the grounds of at least three vacant flats are being used for illegal dumping, that the public precinct areas to the front of the flats are overgrown, and the rubble from a boundary wall which was knocked down two years ago is still lying in a heap where it was left.
