Council urged to demolish houses posing ‘serious risk’

Council chiefs are being pressed to quickly demolish four partially constructed houses in north Cork after it emerged an official warning had allegedly been ignored.

Officials in County Hall had issued a notice under the powers of Section 3 of the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act of 1964 in relation to the demolition of houses at Cois Glaise Lios na Ris in Charleville.

A notice was issued on February 20 in relation to the detached properties but “no positive response” had been received.
