Travellers ‘still face risk from fire’ as families gather to mark one-year anniversary of Carrickmines

Members of the Travelling community are still not safe in their accommodation despite work carried out to improve fire safety, says the Irish Traveller Movement.

The comments came as families and Traveller advocacy groups gathered to mark the one-year anniversary of the Carrickmines fire in Dublin.

Following the tragedy, an accommodation assessment was carried out by the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management (NDFEM).
