Blame the government and the construction sector for the Grenfell fire.

Locht ar an rialtas agus an earnáil tógála faoi thine Grenfell.

The negligence of governments, construction companies and especially the negligence of the companies that put flammable cladding on the front of Grenfell Tower caused the fire there that killed 72 people on 14 June 2017.

Faillí rialtais, comhlachtaí tógála agus go háirithe faillí na gcomhlachtaí a chuir cumhdach inlasta ar éadan Thúr Grenfell ba chúis leis an tine ann a mharaigh 72 duine an 14 Meitheamh 2017.

The fire in the 23-storey tower block in an affluent area of west London was the worst residential fire since the Second World War.

Bhí an tine sa túr 23 stór i gceantar saibhir in iarthar Londain ar an tine ba mheasa in áras cónaithe ó bhí an Dara Cogadh Domhnanda ann.

On the companies that were responsible for maintaining and refurbishing the tower, on the local and national authorities that were negligent and on the companies that claimed that the cladding was safe when it was flammable.

Ar na comhlachtaí a bhí freagrach as cothabháíl agus athhcóiriú an túir, ar na húdaráis áitiúla agus náísiúnta a bhí faillíoch agus ar na comhlachtaí a mhaigh go raibh an cumhdach sábháilte nuair a bhí sé inlasta.

But there is also criticism of the government, the Kensington and Chelsea housing authorities, the fire brigade who were negligent about fire safety in such high-rise blocks.

Ach tá cáineadh ann freisin ar an rialtas, ar údaráis áitiúíl Kensington agus Chelsea, ar an mbriogáid dóiteáin a bhí faillíoch faoi shábháilteacht tine in mblocanna arda dá leithéid.

The Grenfall Tower fire was caused by decades of negligence by the government and other institutions in the construction sector, according to the report.

Faillí na mblianta fada sa rialtas agus i bhforais eile san earnáil tógála ba chúis leis an tine i dTúr Grenfall, dar leis an tuarascáil.

Since the fire, people who survived the fire as well as the families of the dead want those responsible for the fire to be brought to justice.

Ón uair a bhí an tine ann, tá daoine a tháinig slán ón tine chomh maith le muintir na marbh ag iarraidh go gcuirfí an dlí orthu siúd a bhí freagrach as an tine.

The police say that 58 people and 19 bodies and institutions are under investigation but that it will be a long time before prosecutions can be expected.

Deir na póilíní go bhfuil 58 duine agus 19 comhlacht agus foras faoi iniúchadh ach go mbeidh tamall fada eile ann sular féidir bheith ag súil le ionchúísimh.

The police say that it is because of the complexity of the investigation and study that will be done on this report and its implications.

Deir na póilíní go bhfuil sé amhlaidh de bharr chomh casta is atá an t-iniúchadh agus an staidéir a bheidh le déanamh ar an tuarascáil seo agus ar a impleachtaí.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the report identified significant and widespread neglect.

Dúírt an Príomh-Aire Keir Starmer gur aithin an tuarascáil go raibh faillí suntasach agus forleathan ann.

His thoughts were with the families of the dead, those who survived the Grenfell Tower fire and the community of the area, he said this morning.

Ar mhuintir na marbh, orthu siúd a tháinig slán ón tine i dTúr Grenfell agus ar phobal an cheantair a bhí a smaointe, a dúirt sé ar maidin.

With those people today, he said.

Leis na daoine sin an lá inniu, a dúirt sé.

The Prime Minister hoped, he said, that this report is a step towards the responsibility they are asking for.

Bhí súil ag an bPríomh-Aire, a dúirt sé, gur céim i dtreo na freagrachta atá siad a iarraidh é an tuarascáil seo.

Keir Starmer promised that the government would carefully study the report and its recommendations so that such a tragedy cannot happen again.
