Arson attacks spark fears derelict hotel may be next

The destruction, reportedly by arson, of a historic building in Cork has led to fears of a former hotel being targeted by vandals.

A county councillor has highlighted local concerns about the safety of the Sunset Ridge Hotel building near Blarney.

Ger Keohane, expressing local fears about likely damage to the building, urged County Hall to take a tougher line on vacant and derelict properties.
