Waiting game for car owners at ruined car park

George Finn is one of the lucky ones, but dozens of other car owners face an anxious wait as the massive operation to remove up to 190 cars from a fire-ravaged carpark got underway.

Mr Finn was one of the first motorists to see his undamaged car being lifted clear by crane yesterday from the upper floors of the Douglas Village Shopping Centre car park in Cork City, which was destroyed in a massive blaze on Saturday.
