Council "committed" to implementing recommendations of report describing living conditions at halting site as "shocking".
The site has not been named in the report by the Children's Ombudsman but it's believed to be the Spring Lane Halting site in the City.
The No End in Site report strongly criticised the Council for what the report says is it's failure to implement its own Traveller Accommodation Programme.
The Ombudsman met with 17 children who live at the local authority halting site and found that some of them were suffering from skin conditions and respiratory problems at a higher rate than the general population.
The report also found children were playing in rubbish and were sharing makeshift beds.
Living conditions included damp walls and ceilings, a lack of hot water and faulty heating systems.
In a statement to RedFM News, Cork City Council says it recognises the important role of the Ombudsman for Children and says it looks forward to working with families, residents, Traveller Community groups, the HSE and TUSLA to improve the lives and quality of life of children at the site.
