Bill for defective housing a burning issue

RESIDENTS in Longboat Quay await to see whether they will have to fund remedial works on their homes, but they are not alone, writes Michael Clifford.

Residents of other developments that had fire safety issues have also had to come up with cash to make their homes safe.

Another McNamara development, Elm Park, in south Dublin, had to have remedial work done. It is estimated to have cost €8m. The Irish Examiner understands that much of this was funded by a receiver for McNamara interests, which ultimately came back on Nama.
