Higgins to fight ‘developers’ greed’

SOCIALIST Party TD Joe Higgins pledged yesterday to continue to fight “developers’ greed” after two west Dublin householders were ordered to pay, between them, more than €1,000 for management services in their estates.

Mr Higgins was joined by North Kildare Independent TD Catherine Murphy at Dublin District Court for the hearing of the first cases over non-payment of the controversial charges.

Outside the court, Mr Higgins said: “It is quite disgraceful that householders, who have made a fortune for housing estate developers, are now being dragged into court by these same developers masquerading as management companies.
