Causeway CEO says fire investigation underway in Waterford

CEO of Causeway Group Sean Johnston said the cause of the Tycor Business Centre fire is currently under Garda investigation.

Causeway Group owns the majority of the business centre, where approximately 50 units were destroyed by a fire that ignited on Saturday, May 9.

Speaking to RTÉ News, Mr Johnston said CCTV footage has been passed on to Gardaí and is now under investigation.

"All we know is we have full security in the centre, it's full CCTV. And the CCTV footage was still recording up until the electricity was cut off at 7.30pm on Saturday night," Mr Johnston said.

"So, anyone that was in that premises or anyone who was in that business park in the previous week are all on CCTV footage, of which the guards have, and they are going through it at the moment.

"Right now, we know the area where it started, and we know which way the fire went. It started in one area. Went up the middle, it came back on itself. We thought certain units were saved, which we lost afterwards.”
