Dublin City Council to discuss emergency motion on Longboat Quay
Dublin City Council will this evening discuss an emergency motion to ensure Longboat Quay residents are not forced to pay for remedial works at the complex.
Last week, 900 residents were told they could be facing evacuation from the docklands apartments over fire safety concerns.
The cost of remedial works has been estimated at €4.75m, with €2m still to be financed by management and the apartment owners.
Sinn Féin Councillor Chris Andrews says it is unfair to expect the residents to foot the bill.
He said: "Obviously, these issues have come to light over the last year or so and they have to be addressed.
"We believe Dublin City Council, Nama and the Dublin Docklands Authority all have a part to play in ensuring residents don’t have to pay for something they didn't create."
