This one I have the answer to. It is three. South Dublin County Council forced the evacuation of Dolcain House, which housed about 189 individuals in non-fire safety compliant conditions. Fingal County Council recently initiated enforcement action in similar circumstances and Kildare has had to do the same, not on fire safety grounds but for breach of protections in the original regulations brought in front of us on built heritage. That is not the responsibility of the Minister of State or the officials present. It is to do with planning enforcement and the behaviour of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
