Residents of Longboat Quay reject €2.75m offer as ‘wholly unacceptable’

The latest move ramps up pressure for an agreement to prevent the evacuation of over 600 residents as Dublin Fire Brigade yesterday issued a fire service notice, which will require the work to be completed by a specific date to prevent evacuation.
The DDDA, in conjunction with the receiver for the company which built the development, has offered €2.75m which it says represents more than half the full costs. Residents have responding by pointing out that the offer includes monies already spent on an earlier phase of works and a loan. There is also a dispute over the full cost of what has to be done to make the building safe.
