Cork County Council won't pause enforcement proceedings to remove log cabins 

Council chief executive Moira Murrell said her officials are tied to current legislation despite government review

Independent councillor William O’Leary said people who can’t afford to buy houses have, in some instances, put log cabins on land owned by their parents.

Cork County Council won't pause enforcement proceedings to remove or demolish log cabins or modular homes even while the Government carries out a review which may result in the relaxation of planning guidelines for their development.

Despite several councillors calling for a stay of execution for people using cabins as homes, council chief executive Moira Murrell said her officials are tied to current legislation and can’t deviate from it.
