A Cork TD said local authorities should be given powers to internally inspect derelict properties to avoid a repeat of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of remains of a man in a Mallow house that had lain undisturbed for two-decades.

The issue was raised by Cork North-Central Sinn Féin TD Thomas Gould in a motion before last Monday’s meeting of the Cork County Joint Policing Committee.
