    Looking like everyone got out.

    I wonder what the fire investigation will uncover.

    Jesus it looks like it went up like a tinderbox and the article says that it's a new build?

    How could that be allowed in a new build??

    It just seems nuts that this type of thing is not next to impossible in a new build of apartments.

    I work in a place that was built in 2012 and it has the ability for a fire to be locked into one area for up to three hours.

    I don't get why blocks of flats don't have the same given that there are so many more lives involved??

    Irish regulation demands each separate apartment should ba able to contain fire for a minimum of 60 minutes. In reality, both apartments and semi-d/terraced houses do not comply.

    Flammable balconies? Mad.

    How did the building pass safety inspection?

    At least no serious injuries or fatalities

    That looked nasty. I am glad everyone who lived in those flats were not killed by the fire.
