Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I join with my colleagues on both sides of this House in thanking the emergency responders who responded to a significant and extensive fire in the Metro Hotel and apartment building in Ballymun last night. There were 11 units of Dublin Fire Brigade, eight fire engines, two aerial appliances and the incident command unit, comprising 60 firefighters, involved in managing that blaze. The professionalism that resulted in the evacuation of 150 people from the building and no loss of life should be recognised in this House. Nobody was injured-----
