‘Firetrap’ building used as hostel vacated

The two connected premises at 12-14 Old County Rd, Crumlin, housed 22 people, believed to be mainly from Brazil, when it came to the attention of the fire authority last Friday. It had housed up to 52.
Conleth Bradley, for the council, told Mr Justic Seamus Noonan yesterday the building had been vacated in line with the court order which was made against the registered owners, John and Yvonne McEleney, who had not been contactable to date.
