An arrangement was reached between the parties in High Court proceedings for twenty people to leave a Dublin city building over fire safety concerns. The proceedings were reported on 20 June 2017. The property was at 24 Mountjoy Square, incorporating 24 Charles Lane in Dublin 1.

Counsel for the receiver said the family living upstairs was to leave as soon as possible, while about a dozen students were to leave when their term ended in mid-July. Fire wardens were to remain in the building, and the receiver was making money available towards the family’s accommodation costs. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan adjourned the case until Friday and directed representatives of Dublin City Council’s Housing Department to attend.
