Ownership of the house in North Cork in which skeletal remains were found last Friday cannot be established as the property is not registered.

Cork County Council confirmed to the Irish Examiner that efforts to identify an owner for the property at Beecher Street in Mallow by the local authority failed, although it is known the property is “in private ownership”.
