Grenfell Tower-type cladding used in Cork County Hall

The same cladding used in the multi-fatality Grenfell tower block in London was installed at County Hall, the headquarters of Cork County Council.

The council has commissioned a report on the proper installation of the material following the discovery and said it will act on any recommendations made by the experts compiling the report.

The cladding was installed in one section of the building on the Carrigrohane Road during a €62m refurbishment of County Hall’s 17-storey headquarters, completed in 2006.
