The High Court has extended an order in relation to a property in Crumlin in Dublin which the judge had previously as a "fire trap".
Last Wednesday the court heard that the premises at 12-14 Old County Road, Crumlin, came to the attention of the Dublin City fire officer last Friday, following a report by RTÉ Investigates.
The Fire Safety Order, which was granted by Mr Justice Seamus Noonan, prohibited the premises being used for residential and multi-occupancy purposes, pending the fire issues being dealt with.
The order applied to the owners John and Yvonne McEleney.
However this morning the court was told by representatives of John and Yvonne McEleney that they were the owners of number 12 Old County Road and that number 14 was owned by their uncle, another John McEleney.
The court also heard that while John and Yvonne McEleney were the legal owners of number 12, they were not the beneficial owners of the property and in fact they had nothing to do with the running of the property.
Representatives for John and Yvonne McEleney sought an adjournment of the case in advance of any order being finalised to allow the McEleney's submit affidavits to the court.
The legal team for Dublin Fire Brigade asked for the order to be extended to cover John McEleney, the owner of number 14 Old County Road and Edward McEleney, the father of John and Yvonne McEleney.
Mr Justice Noonan agreed to both requests and the case is back before the High Court in two weeks' time.
