'Nightmare to Let': Firefighters call for compulsory fire assessments and increased inspection resources

SIPTU firefighters have renewed their demand for fire assessments in all properties following the extent of the risks in some buildings being highlighted once again in a documentary broadcast on RTE last night.
SIPTU Sector Organiser, Brendan O’Brien, said SIPTU representatives have consistently called for proper robust risk assessments to be conducted nationally, particularly given the safety issues arising from the prevalent ‘self certification’ culture.
