Government publishes the Report of the Fire Safety Task Force

The government has published the Report of the Fire Safety Task Force, which was commissioned to review and make recommendations on fire safety in Ireland.

The Report primarily focused on two areas: high-rise buildings and multi-storey, multi-unit social housing, but the findings also contain recommendations in relation to a broader review of existing fire safety arrangements in Ireland.

In this article, Tara Cosgrove and Cian O’Gorman examine the Report and provide a summary of its key findings and recommendations.
