'We are all lucky to be alive,' says resident as 19 families return home after Dublin flats fire

Nineteen families who were left homeless for six days after a fire broke out in an electrical house in a flats complex have been allowed to return homes.

Up to 150 residents in the Marmion Court Flats on Blackhall Street, were just minutes away from a serious explosion as the electrical box is housed close to the gas storage unit which feeds all of the flats.
