X-ray equipment like this in Ireland is licensed by the RPII (Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland). This means that when the equipment was installed, calculations would have been performed to see if neighbouring rooms (and floor above and below) would receive radiation over a threshold. See the RPII website for is some further info.
