Residents to leave Dublin building described as potential fire safety risk

Summary

In a High Court hearing, it was ordered that a family and other residents of a Dublin City Centre building at 24 Mountjoy Square, which also houses 24 Charles Lane, must vacate the premises over the coming days and weeks. The building, deemed a potential fire safety risk, had received a fire safety notice from Dublin City Council in August of the previous year. Ms Anne O'Dwyer of Duff & Phelps, acting as receiver since March, had initiated proceedings to secure vacant possession, citing non‑compliance with the notice and the danger posed to residents, neighbouring buildings and the public. The receiver's case was directed at the owner, Mr Christopher Singh, and TWI Textile Machinery and Fabric Company Ltd, which partially occupies the property. Mr Singh, a director and sole shareholder of the company, opposed the receiver's appointment and hired an expert to address the fire safety issues. The court adjourned the matter to allow the parties to negotiate.
