There are fears Vernon Mount House is at risk of collapse unless urgent stabilisation works are carried out.

City councillors are to ask the Office of Public Works to fund the works to the historic fire-damaged property in the City.

The Irish Examiner reports Fine Gael councillor Shane O’Callaghan tabled a motion calling for the city to fund necessary stabilisation works to the historic property as a matter of great urgency.

The works necessary were estimated four years ago at just over €43,000.

Vernon Mount was built in the 1780s and is one of the few remaining Georgian mansions on the southside of the city.

The site was plagued by antisocial behaviour and the building was burned down in 2016.
