Minister urges safety review of apartments after Grenfell Tower tragedy
Describing the fire that has claimed dozens of lives as ‘a continuing tragedy’, Mr Murphy said that one of his first priorities “has been to take immediate action to ensure life safety for all citizens living in flats and apartments here in Ireland”.
Mr Murphy said he has met with Dublin’s chief fire officer to discuss fire safety in light of the tragedy, and has requested the management board of the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management to convene and “assess the readiness of the fire authorities to respond to such emergencies”.
