Residents told to vacate homes due to major fire safety defects

RESIDENTS of an apartment complex have been warned by Dublin City Council that they will have to vacate their homes because of major fire safety defects in the buildings.

Owners and tenants of almost 200 units at Priory Hall in Donaghmede face the prospect of being made homeless after the local authority this week told them that they will be required to leave their homes.

It is understood that the council will shortly seek a court order to force occupants to move out. It also advised residents that they may need to seek a place on the housing list.
