This article from the Cyprus Mail illustrates the prevailing attitude of the authorities when things go wrong;

"The locals knew the land had problems for years. Historical reports in the Land Registry and Planning Office highlight the problem. Yet somebody paid somebody and voila, a planning permit. Now this mess.
As usual, Cyprus and Cypriots blame everything else and assume no accountability or responsibility. It is clear that houses should never have been built on this land and yet the civil service gave permission. Ultimately the government has to take accountability for 'mistakes' made by it's representatives, alive or dead, sorting the issue out and making sure safeguards are put in place so it never happens again. Sadly, when you translate Limnes from the original Greek, it means lakes and there is no standing water for miles so the water has to be somewhere."
Caveat emptor - big time!
