Former Cork hotel considered for derelict sites register after falling debris narrowly misses passer-by

A landmark former hotel is being considered for inclusion on Cork city’s derelict sites register, it emerged yesterday after debris fell from it, narrowly missing a pedestrian.

The near-derelict former Moore’s Hotel on Morrison’s Island is one of several buildings in a block in the area, which are being examined by the city council’s conservation officer and its building control unit.

A file on the targeted buildings was opened recently and reports are awaited before the structures can be added to the register.
