Councillor 'confident' state will provide funding to businesses affected by Longford fire

A Fianna Fáil councillor says she is confident the government will provide state funding to businesses affected by the Longford fire.
13 businesses are closed and over 60 people are out of work after last Sunday's blaze in Grafton Court.
Councillor Uruemu Adejinmi says auctioneers have been contacting her, offering to help the businesses find new premises.

Junior Enterprise Minister Dara Calleary visited the fire site on Wednesday - but didn't commit to providing state funding to those impacted.
But councillor Adejinmi believes the government will ultimately do so.
