Leesiders speak out in the wake of devastating fire at iconic cork building
It's feared a fire which has partially destroyed one of Cork's most historic buildings may have been started deliberately.
Emergency services were altered shortly after 8 o'clock last night when flames were seen billowing from St Kevin's Asylum on the site of the former Our Lady's Hospital on the Lee road.
Authorities say when they arrived at the scene - a group of youths were seen running from the derelict building.
Meanwhile shock is turning to anger Leeside and questions are being raised about why the former hospital had not been protected or properly restored.
These listeners have been telling RedFM News that the building shouldn't have been left lying idol:
