VIDEO: Six unoccupied houses sealed off in Kanturk

Residents in an estate in a north Cork town have spoken of their relief that six dangerous houses have finally been sealed off.

The unoccupied three-storey houses at Oakridge, at the entrance to the Dun An Oir estate in Kanturk, have major cracks, especially in the gable walls.

The damage is so severe in some of walls that a person can almost insert their whole hand.
