    Are carbon monoxide alarms a requirement in workplaces here in Ireland?

    I'm guessing that they have to be fitted to all new builds, but are there regulations requiring them to be retrofitted to old buildings?

    Not required unless you make an adjustment that alters Part J of the building regulations. If you add a heat producing appliance such as a new boiler, stove etc a CO alarm is required.
