Developers insist picket won’t delay apartment work

A DEVELOPMENT company gave assurances last night that unfinished apartments on a building sites picketed by workers will be completed.

Up to 16 construction workers, laid off by main sub-contractor Pat O’Brien Construction, from Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, mounted a picket outside the An Caisleain estate in Ballincollig after they were locked out earlier in the week.

The 52 apartments in the Frinailla-developed estate on which they were working are at the snag list stage.
