City Hall ‘sitting on’ scathing report

Senior officials in Cork City Council have been accused of sitting on a scathing report on the council’s housing maintenance department for almost a year.

The ‘walkthrough audit’ was commissioned by City Hall last year, and presented to officials in September 2013.

However, Sinn Féin Cllr Thomas Gould, who chairs the council’s functional housing committee, said it has never been brought to councillors’ attention.
