Designer of Longboat Quay apartments challenges claims of inadequate fire protection

The man responsible for the design of Longboat Quay has challenged claims that walls, smoke vents and fire doors are inadequate.

Speaking to the Sunday Times Eugene van Jaarsveld said he'd move into the damned Dublin development immediately if he had enough money.

Last week 900 residents were given a month to carry out remedial works totalling 4.75 million euro to bring the building up to fire safety standards – or face eviction.

The landlords, Dublin Docklands Development Authority offered to pay 58 per cent of the cost, but 2 million euro still needs to be financed by management and apartment owners. 

However, today Van Jaarsveld says he's 'sceptical' about the extent of supposed dangers.
