Kayak club’s roof partially collapses

AN investigation is under way after the partial collapse of a kayak club building’s concrete roof yesterday.

A large concrete beam in the roof of the Phoenix Kayak Club’s storeroom on the Lee Road in Cork gave way just before 7am, and crashed on to the floor of the mass concrete building, damaging several boats.

Workmen nearby thought there had been an explosion and they contacted the emergency services.
