HSE liaising with ‘relevant authorities’ over squalid house
Specialist cleaning contractors moved in on the abandoned house in Passage West, Co Cork, to remove tonnes of rotting rubbish and hundreds of soiled nappies. The clean-up and fumigation could take up to a week to complete.
But as the work got under way, the residents of St Joseph’s Terrace said they have concerns for the welfare of the family, and in particular, the three young children, who lived in the house until last May.
