Fire safety defects have been uncovered in one of the largest housing developments in the State following the purchase of €60m worth of the homes by a major build-to-rent investor. 

The development at the old racecourse in Dublin’s Phoenix Park is due to include over 2,300 homes when it is completed. The defects relate to the first phase which was built between 2006 and 2008.
