Longboat Quay home owners to resume legal action

Residents of Longboat Quay, who face eviction from their homes on foot of a fire safety order, are to resume legal action against the Dublin Dockland Development Authority after the breakdown of talks yesterday.

The DDDA, which owns the common area in the 298 apartment development, made an increased offer to the residents to fund a greater share of the €4m cost of remedial work.

However, the residents’ representatives rejected the renewed offer, claiming they simply wouldn’t be in a position to cover the remainder of the cost.
