Work is set to begin on a few buildings on Cork City's North Main Street amid safety concerns.

The owners of 62, 63 and 64 North Main Street have been informed of a series of immediate works. These involve stabilising the facade of no 63, as well as key elements of 62 and 64 to ensure further collapse risk is eliminated.

More suitable site hoarding is also set to be put in place.

Cork City Council is working with the owners to ensure these works take place without delay.

The work is being delivered to ensure public safety and protect the heritage of the site.

The council will continue to work with the building owners over the coming days to identify what further works need to be undertaken at the buildings.
