Following
a disastrous attempt by the builder to remove part of
'Cumiskeys' Pub on Dominick Street, we were called in
to (a) stabilise the building (still occupied and trading),
(b) design and erect temporary works, (c) demolish half
of the building.
This work was executed without causing any further movement
to the building while ensuring that the business remained
trading and the residence above remained habitable.
