Kenny urged to meet Priory Hall victims

Angry victims of the Priory Hall scandal have called for Taoiseach Enda Kenny put aside legal matters, by-pass Environment Minister Phil Hogan, and meet a small group of residents face to face.

Resident and Priory Hall spokesman Graham Usher rejected comments by Mr Hogan yesterday that he could not meet residents before the result of a Supreme Court hearing on Oct 15.

Speaking in Dublin, Mr Hogan said he was staying quiet on Priory Hall because he does not want developers responsible for the apartments to “get off the hook”. Mr Hogan said he has been advised not to meet the residents by the Attorney General until the issue is before the courts again next month.
