Residents and council fail to agree on site for blaze survivors

Residents opposed to an emergency halting site at the end of their estate for survivors of a blaze that killed 10 people met again yesterday with council chiefs but failed to reach a resolution.

It was Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s third engagement with residents from Rockville Drive in Dublin who remain opposed to the site and have blocked entry to the land.

The council want sto prepare a one-acre field at the end of a cul-de-sac to accommodate four mobile homes, a shower, and a toilet block.
