Up to 100 people left homeless after fire at Navan apartment building

Two blocks of apartments are now uninhabitable, while a Garda investigation is underway into suspected criminal damage.

MEATH COUNTY COUNCIL is making urgent arrangements to house residents from the Academy Square apartments in Navan after over 30 apartments were damaged during a fire on Monday evening.

“The management company of the apartments came to us after it was put out and said that 32 apartments would have to be evacuated for the next couple of months because of the damage,” he said. “So a lot of them have to be sent over to Drogheda with their kids, waiting for landlords to reach out and offer alternative accommodation.”

The limited accommodation options available to residents of Academy Square aren’t good enough and there’s no way to know how long they’ll be necessary, she added.
