Cladding found in 262 tall buildings in Ireland

Cladding has been found in some 262 multi-storey residential and non-residential buildings in Ireland.

In the wake of the Grenfell tower fire in London two months ago, tests are ongoing to decide if the structures are fire protected.

Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has released initial details of an audit by local authorities of all of Ireland’s public multi-storey buildings, their fire-detection systems, and assessments for cladding.
