‘Miracle nobody killed’ as building collapses on street

FIRE BRIGADE officers say it was a miracle nobody was killed or seriously injured when a three-storey building collapsed onto a busy street in Cork city centre.

Two construction workers who had been working on renovating the building had to flee for their lives yesterday afternoon when part of it started to }collapse internally.

A short time later, at around 4pm, masonry started to crash out on to Castle Street as shoppers and school children were walking by.
