Council to remove asbestos in west Limerick site

LIMERICK County Council engineering staff were still finalising plans yesterday for the removal of tons of asbestos-contaminated rubble from a site in Rathkeale.

Council spokesman Eugene Griffin said the council expects a report, possiblytoday, on the way to proceed.

Following the demolition of the old People’s Bakery building in the centre of the town a week ago, the council was alerted by locals that it had an asbestos roof.
