Owners of derelict buildings in Cork given month to remove metal support beams

It comes amid mounting criticism of City Hall’s handling of the issue which has blighted the city's historic spine since last June.

The owners of derelict buildings in Cork city which partially collapsed almost eight months ago have been given a month to remove huge metal support beams from the public footpath.

City officials said they want the A-frames propping up 63 North Main St to be moved inside the structure.
