Cameron House night manager asked for overflowing ash bins to be emptied days before fatal fire, FAI hears

Darren Robinson gave evidence on the first day of a Fatal Accident Inquiry into the deaths of Simon Midgley, 32, and his partner Richard Dyson, 38, who perished in the blaze at the five-star Loch Lomond resort on Monday, December 18, 2017.
