The OPW has stepped in "to buy time" in a battle to preserve writings and drawings created by IRA prisoners on plastered walls in a jail during the War of Independence.
The slates on the roof of the former Bridewell jail in Kanturk, Co Cork, are missing and water has seeped into the plaster exposing a number of drawings and messages, but unfortunately destroying others.
