Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review of Part B (Fire Safety) of Building Regulations: Dublin Fire Brigade
Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Keeley indicated that Dublin Fire Brigade has been talking about the need for sprinkler systems in these more complex buildings for around seven years. Nobody today should be surprised to get a fire certificate from Dublin Fire Brigade requesting a sprinkler system for a complex building. Sprinkler systems increasingly are much more cost effective. The cost is coming down despite the high quality. That might have been a good argument from the applicant's or planner's side five or six years ago. I presume it is not a surprise today.
