Old Cork piggery rubble to be inspected after asbestos concern leads to cancelled GAA games

Politicians are to meet with officials of Cork County Council on Monday in relation to the site following concerns raised by local residents 

The Fine Gael TD for Cork North Central, Colm Burke, said that a number of events — including a juvenile GAA game — were cancelled on Sunday because of local residents’s concerns.

Planning and environment enforcement teams will inspect rubble at a demolished building in Cork on Monday, after GAA games were cancelled during the weekend amid concerns by locals that it could contain asbestos.

The demolition of an old piggery building in Grenagh over the weekend led to the cancellation of GAA games in the neighbouring pitch on Sunday, while the local playground was also empty.
