Material at demolished Cork piggery dampened during hot spell to prevent asbestos spreading in wind

Asbestos has been linked to the development of diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Air monitoring tests continue to be carried out at the site of a Cork piggery which was demolished over a month ago because of the presence of asbestos in the building.
The piggery in Grenagh was knocked down on April 13. Subsequent testing of materials at the site proved residents' fears that asbestos was present in the building.
