Residents in Ringsend, Dublin, where a crane partially collapsed last weekend, have called for all work on the site to stop until the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has published a full report.
The residents are also demanding a meeting with the owner of the Barrow Street construction site, Mr Liam Carroll.
They have engaged a consultant engineer, Mr Vincent Carroll, of McCabe Delaney Ltd, and are demanding that he be given access to the site.
One of the tower cranes on the site partially collapsed last Sunday, leaving a large section swinging in high winds. It forced the evacuation of 60 nearby houses. The structure was stabilised on Wednesday, allowing residents to return home.
Mr Damien Cassidy, legal adviser to the local Shelbourne Park Residents' Association, said residents were hugely concerned about other cranes on the site.
Local Labour Party councillor, Mr Kevin Humphries, said residents needed to be reassured. A resident, Mr Billy Ryan, said there were nine other cranes on the site, and five were "hanging right over people's houses".
A HSA spokeswoman said it was impossible to say how long it would be before the report was completed. "It will take as long as it takes. It could be weeks or even months. The current situation is that an exclusion zone is being observed, within which no construction work, apart from essential remedial work, is being carried out."
Mr Damien Reville, of Danniger Ltd, the company which owns the crane, said it had no formal request yet from residents about meeting or halting work on the site.
"The HSA is not going to let us carry out any work that's unsafe. We'll take direction from them."
