Work is underway in Castle Street, Dalkey Co Dublin to repair the sinkhole caused by the burst sewer pipe (Photo: Cllr Justin Moylan)A sinkhole has opened up in the middle of Dalkey after an underground sewer pipe collapsed. Castle Street, where the hole appeared, has been closed off while work is underway on fixing the damage. The county council have excavated a section of the road so that work can take place of the broken pipe. "There was an existing sewer pipe under the road which had collapsed and then subsequently caused a sink hole right in the centre of Castle Street in Dalkey," he told Independent.ie. "It's not unsafe at the moment and there's no danger of anybody falling into a hole because it's all cordoned off."
