347 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to fire safety concerns in any other developments apart from Belmayne, Dublin. [13532/12]
View answerLocal authorities have extensive powers of inspection and enforcement under current legislation and have used such powers on a number of occasions including the recent high profile case at Priory Hall. Problems at a number of developments are already in the public domain, and I have urged local authorities to continue to use all of the powers currently available to them to address issues of building standards compliance, including in relation to fire safety.
