    Jesus, if they are not going to come for 90 minutes, they might as well not come at all

    My aunt said if it wasn’t for the help of neighbours and a nearby hotel they had put the fire out before the fire brigade arrived.

    90 minutes to Nigeria?
    They did very well.
    Took me 10 hours to get to Lagos a few years ago.

    There’s a fee per engine i believe. Something like €600 I think ?
    I guess your house or car insurance would pay for it.

    Superb work from all involved during this tragedy. I’m a huge supporter of DFB but there is no mention that they took 25mins to respond despite being 7 minutes from the swords station.

    Also, shame on Roganstown Hotel and Golf Club for not having a defibrillator on site. Crazy considering there is a golf course, gym and pool. Thank goodness the people on the course reacted quickly.
