Mr. Dennis Keeley:

To go back to inspections in the greater Dublin area, it is important to state that during our research we found no building in the Dublin area at Grenfell level. There is no building like Grenfell in the Dublin area and this should give people some comfort.

We visually inspected 650 residential tall buildings and 285 commercial tall buildings. They included apartments, hotels, hostels and airports. It was a fairly broad spectrum of building types. Following this, we wrote to 63 of those identified buildings, 21 of which were residential and 42 were commercial. We engaged with all of them and we received a response from all of them. Seven of them merited further discussion and investigation. The cladding of one building is in the process of being removed but this is more because of the integrity of the cladding itself as opposed to fire safety aspects. These are the facts and figures on the greater Dublin area.

With regard to Deputy Ó Broin's question on standards, it was more with regard to technical guidance document B, which we use for compliance, and the importance of having it completed, taking account of the Grenfell inquiry.

Another issue related to mandatory inspections. There were 1,000 inspections in Dublin city last year and to date we are at 1,500. Some of this is due to additional personnel over that time, which allowed us to increase our inspection capacity.
