Apartment owners in Longboat Quay must accept safety deal or face €1m bill

Apartment owners in Longboat Quay have been told that if they don’t accept a deal on remedial fire safety works at a special meeting this evening, they will face a bill of up to €1m.

The Dublin docklands complex of 298 units is under threat of evacuation next May over major fire safety deficiencies, but Dublin City Council has made an offer that will cover some of the cost but leave owners footing the remainder of the bill.

The 18-page confidential document, seen by the Irish Examiner, is to be voted on by owners at an egm this evening but the Longboat Quay Management Company has warned owners that failure to accept it will have immediate consequences.
