Bye-law Approvals
A member has received the following communication from Dublin County Council.
Dear Sir,
I refer to your recent discussions with Ms. A.Mills, Executive Engineer regarding Condition No. 2 of Bye-Law Approval ............. This condition is a standard condition included in all Bye-Laws issued by the Council. Compliance with it is not appropriate in the case of extensions to domestic property. In these cases the Fire Services Act has no application. You will note .............. that Mr. Nolan of the Chief Fire Officers department has confirmed "that private dwellings were not covered by the Fire Services Act, 1981."
I trust that the above clarifies any queries in relation to Condition 2 of Bye-Law Approval in question.
Yours faithfully
J. Carson
Principal Officer
