Longboat Quay apartment sold to bidder unaware of fire safety issue

An apartment in the controversial Longboat Quay development has been sold at auction to a bidder who was unaware of the extent of fire safety issues in the building.

The successful bidder bought 305, Longboat Quay for €250,000 at a recent Allsops auction in Dublin.

The development has been the focus of concern for Dublin Fire Brigade, as well as for owners and residents, since major fire safety deficiencies were discovered in May of last year.
