A High Court judge ordered 24 Mountjoy Square, Dublin, vacated over fire safety concerns, in a ruling reported on 23 June 2017. The order required a family of 12 and up to a dozen students living in the building to leave by 9 July.

The judge said Dublin City Council’s fire safety notice remained in place and the property could not be used as accommodation. Businesses could continue operating there until the case returned to court, while fire wardens were to remain on site until 9 July.
