Council brings action against owners of former bakery site over asbestos

A CITY HALL has initiated legal action against the owners of a former bakery site for allowing material including asbestos to be stored on it.

Cork city manager Joe Gavin has confirmed that the council’s law department is in the process of instigating legal proceedings against the owners of the former Keating’s Bakery on the Tramore Road which has lain derelict for several years.

It is located just a few hundreds yards from Munster Rugby’s Musgrave Park as well as an industrial estate and a large residential area.
