Almost 100 sites are derelict in Cork city

Derelict building facade is pinned in position behind hoarding on North Main Street, Cork.

The responsibility for dangerous buildings rests with the owners of that private property, Cork's city officials have warned, as the number of derelict sites hovers close to 100.

And while the city council said it has no plans to conduct a city-wide audit of at-risk buildings, such a move may be considered in future, if funding allows.
