The O'Donovans contacted Irish Water about cracks appearing in the house and said 'they didn't seem too concerned'

A burst water pipe at the driveway to a home at McGrath Park, Blackrock, Cork, may be responsible for a sinkhole which developed overnight. Cork City Fire Brigade responded to the emergency early on Sunday morning. Picture: Larry Cummins

A Cork family was forced to evacuate their family home following a large water leak that collapsed the driveway creating a large sinkhole that partly swallowed their car.

But worryingly as well as the huge hole in McGrath Park in Blackrock, father of three Gary O’Donovan has also spotted cracks in their home.
