This is an incredibly serious issue which obviously entered the public domain through the fire safety concerns in Priory Hall but it is most definitely not confined to Priory Hall. I am not sure from the Minister's response if he is saying that all the other developments cited in the question are outside the time limit period and therefore the best that the local authorities can hope for is to nicely ask the developers to comply. The reality, fox example, particularly in case of Foxford Court in Lucan is that a similar developer has built in Balbriggan. I know from a resident who submitted a freedom of information request that the local authority has not rigorously pursued the developer to ensure fire safety compliance and its has adopted a softly softly approach which is not good enough when lives are potentially at risk. an the Minister confirm to the House what was the particular breach of regulations of the fire safety legislation in terms of Priory Hall and can he give us an assurance that the same breach of the regulations has not occurred in respect of other developments cited or any other developments?
