THE remains of a man found in a rubbish chute at an apartment complex in the city centre on Monday evening may have been there for up to two days. The man’s identity has not been established but a post-mortem examination by Dr Margaret Bolster revealed he died as a result of an assault, and gardaí have now upgraded their investigation to one of unlawful killing. The man’s body was found face down in rubbish at the City Garden and Northgate House apartment blocks on Monday evening by a maintenance worker. Superintendent Barry McPolin said the man was approximately 60 years of age, of slight build and was 5ft 6in tall. He had grey hair and moustache, and was wearing a beige fleece top, beige trousers and a dark t-shirt. ● Continued on page two.

himself saying it was important to have a green voice on the Council. “At the moment I am leaning towards running but I have not made up my mind fully,” he said. “When I was first elected to Cork City Council in 1999 it was in the South Central ward but I am living in the South East so I would most likely run there.” Boyle was a previous Green Party candidate for the European elections but ruled out running for a seat in the European Parliament in next summer’s elections.

By ALAN HEALY in the Cork South Central constituency and was the party’s spokesperson on Finance, Social and Family Affairs and Community, Rural Development and the Islands. He lost his seat in the 2007 election but was appointed a Senator by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, who formed a Government with the Green Party. An influential figure on social media, his comment on Twitter in 2010 that he had no confidence in the Minister of Defence Willie O’Dea led to O’Dea’s resignation. He failed to get elected to either the Dáil or the Seanad in the 2011 elections. Later that year he recorded an album of music called Third Adolescence and last year he released a book, Without Power or Glory, an insider’s account of events from before the 2007 General Election through to the bailout and defeat in the 2011 election. If he decides to run he will join an increasingly crowded field in the seven-seat South East ward. Selection conventions for the different parties to pick their candidates for the 2014 elections are set to take place in the coming weeks.
