Serious damage caused to Belturbet apartments

Front facade damaged by high winds.

Significant damage already set to cost into the tens of thousands to repairs occurred to the facade of an apartment block in Belturbet.

The damage was caused to the front of the Castle Hill apartments in the Erneside town by high winds brought during Storm Éowyn.

Heavy brickwork attached to the front of the occupied property collapsed to the street below.

The street was subsequently cordoned off for safety.
