I support Senator Bacik's comments on the Dublin Fire Brigade. An incident occurred last night in a hotel in the centre of the city which was attended by six units of the fire brigade, an ambulance and six gardaí. I commend them for their speedy, efficient and effective work in that regard. It was an electrical fire in a basement. The hotel was evacuated in an orderly manner. The management and staff of the hotel deserve a great deal of credit. If it had been more serious it would have been a tragedy because there were many Deputies and Senators resident who were woken up at 3 o'clock this morning. Some of them might not be as fresh as the Cathaoirleach would wish them to be.
