Staff shortages leading to increased fire risk in Dublin, according to SIPTU

It is claimed every week of the year, fire safety is being reduced in Dublin.

This comes as SIPTU members in Dublin Fire Brigade have raised concerns of staffing shortages.

They say a lack of staff yesterday resulted in certain services out of action in North Strand, Dolphin's Barn and Tallaght.

Currently National Fire Safety Week is running, however, union members have said that the staffing levels are completely unacceptable.
