Women afraid to return home

RESIDENTS who were evacuated after a landslide are afraid to return home despite assurances that the area is safe.

Engineers assessed the risk to the homes in a housing estate in Mallow, Co Cork, yesterday after the collapse of an embankment on Sunday threatened homes.

But despite giving the all-clear for the two affected residents to return home, one of the evacuees, Therese Noonan, said she is still worried.
