John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein)

In the testimony of our first witness this morning, Mr. Doherty, he spoke about difficulties in terms of contractors being paid and outstanding payments. He made specific reference to fire safety issues and some challenges there. At least one property was identified and there were issues there in terms of consultants being appointed. Mr. Doherty then made a statement that the work at one property - I think it was a former hotel on St. Stephen's Green - had been identified as costing €900,000 to bring that property up to the necessary fire safety standards. He made reference to concerns from Dublin fire authorities about non-compliance with the legislation. He stated that, as far as he was aware, up until late 2024, that work was still outstanding and the property had not been brought up to the necessary fire safety standards. Have our guests any clarity on that? Is it accurate testimony?
