Residents in Dublin face 4 Million bill over Fire Safety Failings

Residents in an Irish apartment complex are facing a 4m euro (£2.95m) bill or possible evacuation over fire safety failings in their building.

About 900 people live in 300 apartments in the Longboat Quay complex in Dublin's docklands.

It was built by developer Bernard McNamara in 2006, with buyers paying as much as 750,000 euro (£550,000) for the properties.

But serious fire safety deficiencies were uncovered last year.

Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the nominal landlord, has so far paid 1m euro (£735,000) to fix the fire alarm system.
