Specialist cladding inspectors have been brought into investigate University Hospital Limerick and four other Irish high-rise hospitals in the wake of the Grenfell disaster.
71 people lost their lives in a fire at the London flat complex, which was linked to cladding that didn’t meet building regulations.
