The George Best Hotel site in Belfast City Centre has been described as “dangerous” after chunks of masonry fell from the building onto a street below.
Redbrick lumps the size of breezeblocks were found beside the Scottish Mutual Building on the pavement at the corner of Bedford Street and Donegall Square, surrounded by red dust. The masonry fell overnight, apparently from above the Bedford Street sign.
Police cordoned off the area. Belfast City Council officers have instructed the administrators in control of the property to take a survey of the building to make sure there is no further risk to life.
