Mr. John Pollock:

Work was commenced in October 2017. At that stage we had a grant of fire certificate from the fire officer, which had imposed the requirement to put sprinklers into the building. We appealed that decision because it was far in excess of what the current building regulations stipulate.

The Bord Pleanála inspector confirmed that we were exceeding the building regulations, but notwithstanding that, An Bord Pleanála determined that sprinklers should be installed.
