Ladders were used to rescue the residents, who were then treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

One man, whose family were among those rescued, expressed his gratitude for the quick response of emergency services.

He said: "We were in awful shock, we found out that my daughter-in-law was taken to Connolly Hospital and my granddaughter was taken to Temple Street Hospital.

"If they hadn't had got the ladder that they were using I don't think they could have got to the balcony at where my son was.

"Really I'd like to thank the fire services and the emergency services who responded very quickly."
