Rathkeale town centre sealed off because of asbestos
The health and Safety authority must be contacted 28 days before a building that contains asbestos can be demolished.
However someone ignored this rule, and a few days ago, decided it would be a good time to demolish an old bakery on Wall lane in Rathkeale, which contained asbestos in the roof.
Now, the County Council have ordered a halt to work on the demolition site, and the health and Safety authority are to carry out inspection of the site before they will allow the public near it.
As a result, there have been traffic diversions in the area.
