Bid to evict tenant from ‘den of iniquity’ where body found

A house where the dead body of a young man was found in January was described by residents yesterday as “a den of iniquity” as Cork City Council applied to evict the tenant and regain possession.

Amanda Kenny, 38, was notified of the council’s application before Cork District Court in respect of 1 Presentation Place in Greenmount, Cork, but she failed to attend the hearing.

Numerous residents of Presentation Place were present yesterday as Judge Aingil Ní Chondúin acceded to the application from the local authority’s solicitor James O’Mahony.
