Residents fear house damage from works

RESIDENTS of a historic part of Limerick last night pleaded with the city council to carry out engineering surveys of their homes which they fear may have been damaged by ongoing drilling work as part of the main drainage scheme.

Residents told the monthly council meeting how pathways have split away and separated from houses and roadways.

Grandmother Kitty Tobin who lives at 36, O’Dwyer Villas told the meeting how she felt vibrations coming up through her kitchen floor as she sat having a cup of tea.
