Dunne denies developers shirk social duties at home

MULTI-MILLIONAIRE property developer Seán Dunne denied the building industry is hypocritically supporting social housing projects abroad but ducking out of it responsibilities at home.

Mr Dunne was in Cape Town volunteering as a foreman on the Niall Mellon Township Challenge.

He said although Irish property developers found it an onerous legal requirement to release 12% of all new properties at affordable prices, they had obliged.
