Noisy prison work forces woman recovering from cancer out of home

The noise and disruption from building work on the new €35m Cork Prison forced a woman recovering from cancer to leave her home.

Breda O’Shea, whose Rathmore Road home bounds the prison complex construction site, said the project has made her life a misery.

“I have a doctor’s cert which says I need to rest and recover, but there is terrible noise from the work, and my house was covered in dust,” she said.
