Apartment owners in Longboat Quay agree fire safety deal

Apartment owners in Longboat Quay last night agreed to accept a proposal to have the fire safety deficiencies in their Dublin dockland development addressed in order to avoid having to evacuate their homes by May.

The agreement between the complex’s management company and Dublin City Council will see the council contribute €1.85m towards the works, with the receiver for the company that built the complex adding another €1.25m. The company, Gendsong, was a Bernard McNamara vehicle which went into receivership in 2013.

Longboat Quay management company (LQMC), which represents the owners, recommended that the offer be accepted.
