Building workers protest on safety

HUNDREDS of construction workers took to the streets of Limerick yesterday demanding better conditions on building sites in the city.

The protest was part of an unofficial dispute at a housing development on Dooradoyle Road which has spread to other construction sites and brought work to a standstill.

The Construction Industry Federation (CIF) has claimed that “bully boy” tactics by a handful of workers is putting up to 2,000 jobs at risk.
