Request

Can you please provide details of any interactions, advice, discussion, recommendations or other communications with Ballymore Asset Mangement Ltd or any other members of the Ballymore group since May 2025 regarding the temporary enhanced detection system (temporary fire alarm) installed in New Providence Wharf Building A (cores A-E).

An EWS1 was issued mid 2025 on conclusion of the cladding remediation project but only this week has the building reverted (with little notice) to a stay put policy vs sim evac. I would like to know what communications LFB have had with Ballymore regarding the decom of the temporary alarm system and reversion to stay put policy between 1st July 2025 and today.
