flag A Dublin landlord must fix safety and structural issues at a protected building within nine months after court order.

flag Dublin landlord Mel Kilraine has been given nine months to complete urgent safety and structural repairs at 9 Belvedere Place, a protected Dublin 1 building with 10 flats, after failing to fully comply with an enforcement notice. flag The court, citing cracked brickwork, a leaking roof, and other conservation issues, ordered the work to meet Dublin City Council standards. flag Although partial repairs were done, quality concerns remained. flag Kilraine, a retired solicitor with health issues, avoided a criminal conviction due to cooperation and no prior offenses, but must pay €5,950 in prosecution costs. flag A new engineering firm will complete the work, with the council retaining the right to intervene if deadlines are missed. flag The building had previously been occupied by 27 squatters, hindering repairs.
