Families who bought apartments in the condemned Priory Hall development are said to be “more than happy” with proposals to give them new homes.

It must be galling in the extreme for those deeply affected by the building standards of bankrupt developer Tom McFeely to read over the weekend that he was out and about again, this time in the UK, trying to get sufficient funds to get back into the property development business. McFeely and his business partner were the developers of the infamous Priory Hall development in Dublin.

A three-week deadline has been set for a resolution to the long-running dispute over the future of the condemned Priory Hall development.

Residents of another north Dublin apartment complex have been advised that their homes may need repair work amid fire safety concerns.
