City council to sue McFeely over ‘defective’ Priory Hall apartments

Dublin City Council is to sue bankrupt developer Thomas McFeely and others over what it claims are “defective” apartments at the Priory Hall complex.

Mr McFeely’s company developed Priory Hall in Donaghmede, Dublin. It was closed last year by order of the High Court amid fire safety concerns. More than 250 residents had to leave.

At the High Court, Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne granted Dublin City Council permission to bring proceedings against Mr McFeely, whom the court had previously adjudged to be bankrupt.
