Re the heating / ventilation problems, Patrick Scott said in an interview with me in 1995
“The building had awful problems after completion. I remember after the Department of Social Welfare moved en masse in to the building. After six months there was all these complaints from the welfare women that their hair was falling out in lumps. The windows open but were not designed to be opened except for cleaning or in case of emergency. Though Le Corbusier’s sealed buildings also had problems.”

Ciarin Scott contacted me to interview me for this, unfortunately I was unable to meet her timeframe..
