The troubled Priory Hall development could be levelled and rebuilt, Environment Minister Phil Hogan has signalled.

Priory Hall could be levelled and rebuilt, says Hogan

The future of the evacuated site has been thrown into tragic focus after a father of two took his own life due to what his family say was the pressure of the Priory Hall situation. Mr Hogan expressed sympathy for the family of Fiachra Daly, who died in July, as he said he had an “open mind” on what to do next, estimating a solution could cost between €10m and €12m.

The minister said ongoing court action needed to be completed first. Legal issues prevented him from meeting residents. He refused too to set a deadline for action.
