Cork County Council is seeking to take the owner of a derelict building that collapsed in North Cork last year to court.

Part of the upper floor of the building at Upper Cork Street, Mitchelstown collapsed onto the street and close to a zebra crossing in July 2021. Experts say it was fortunate nobody was injured when the building gave way.
