The Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, requested the national directorate for fire and emergency management to convene and co-ordinate a task force to lead a reappraisal if our approach to fire safety in Ireland. What is the status of the work of that task force? The building defects and fire safety issues at Priory Hall and Longboat Quay have been well publicised. Unfortunately, there are many more similar buildings around the country. What plans does the Minister have to assist residents of multi-unit developments, in particular, and housing estates that do not meet fire safety standards and building regulations?
