High Court judge makes orders requiring residents to vacate three central Dublin properties

A High Court Judge has said he has "no option" other than to make orders that three Dublin properties he described as "firetraps" be vacated over fire safety concerns.

Mr Justice Seamus Noonan also criticised the handling by the receiver appointed by AIB over the properties located at 100, 101 and 104 Seville Place, Dublin 1 of fire safety warnings issued in respect of the buildings.
