Residents of a city centre flat complex were made temporarily homeless last night after a fire broke out and damaged a number of apartments in two blocks of the complex.
A total of 26 units in the Iveagh Trust complex on New Bride Street were evacuated after the fire broke out at 6.30pm last night. Thankfully, nobody was injured in the fire.
Tenants of the Trust, which was founded by the Guinness family and offers affordable accommodation to those on lower incomes, were put up in hotels, by family members and by the Trust itself last night. A "small number of flats" were water and fire damaged.
