Group claims Govt shuts down proposals to fix construction defects if 'it costs the State money'

Apartment Owners Network group say proposals to use State funds to fix construction defects shut down by Department of Finance.

The Apartment Owners network, a group representing property owners in developments across Dublin and south Meath, have said that any suggestion of using State funds to fix construction defects in properties are getting shut down quickly by the Government.

The group are part of the newly-formed Construction Defects Alliance, who met with the Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government at Leinster House earlier today.
