Action against ‘Room to Improve’ settled for €100k

A woman whose south Dublin home featured on RTÉ’s Room to Improve programme has settled her damages claim against presenter architect Dermot Bannon; the show’s producers; and the firm that carried out works on her property.

The home of Mary Moore, of Rathcoole, featured on the architectural renovation TV series in an episode broadcast in July 2009 entitled ‘Rathcoole Gallery’. Works were carried out on her three-bedroom home at a cost of €100,000.

However, Ms Moore was unhappy with what was done to her home and claimed remedial works were required to carry out repairs on her property.
