Electrical fault linked to Mayo IPAS fire
The fire was swiftly brought under control yesterday.
An electrical fault is believed to be the cause for a fire which broke out at an accommodation centre for Internation Protection applicants.
Four people were treated for smoke inhalation following the fire at Breaffy, Castlebar on Sunday morning. The Centre at the Breaffy Woods complex was temporarily evacuated shortly after 9am.
“The fire brigade were quickly on hand to contain the situation and following the containment and a thorough investigation, full service in the facility has been resumed,” said Breaffy House Hotel in a statement.
“All service in the hotel and restaurant area is not affected and is operating as normal.
“Four people were treated for smoke inhalation (at Mayo University Hospital) but they have now returned to the centre,” the statement continued.
