Owner refuses to leave subsiding home

The owners of an apartment in a block of 21 units hit by subsidence has pledged not to move out until he is properly compensated by its builders.

Carpenter Gordon Cash is among several occupants of the troubled building yet to leave. The apartment block’s builders, O’Brien and O’Flynn, this week again asked for people to vacate their homes but pledged “the building will be saved”.

However, distressed owner-occupier Mr Cash said all he wanted at this stage was his money back.
