No charges after fatal fire

The DPP has directed that there be no criminal proceedings in relation to a Halloween house fire which claimed the lives of two young brothers in Cork last year.

Sergeant Ray Dunne told Cork City Coroner’s Court yesterday that the DPP’s office has concluded its examination of the Garda file in relation to the blaze in Wilton last October bank holiday weekend.

He told city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane that no criminal proceedings will arise from the deaths.
