Cork City Council paid €10k for report it ignored

Cork City Council paid almost €10,000 for a year-old report it has yet to act upon, the Irish Examiner has learned.

The ‘walk-through audit’ of the council’s housing maintenance operations was completed last September but its contents only emerged this week.

The scathing 55-page report highlighted several areas of concern and recommended a raft of changes to policies, procedures, management structures and work practices.
