Government likely to face further pressure from homeowners over who will be included

It is understood that the Cabinet will today make a political commitment to include apartment owners who have already paid to remediate their homes, or where works are under way.However, with talks continuing between the Department of Housing and officials in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, details of how the issue of retrospective funding for works will be handled are not expected to be announced until the legislation is drawn up.

The scheme will fund owners’ management companies – the corporate entities comprised of apartment owners that are responsible for managing blocks – to carry out remediation works on the basis that an entire building is repaired at the same time, including individual apartments and common areas. Sinn Féin whip Pádraig Mac Lochlainn had contacted all Opposition whips yesterday and got agreement to send a joint letter to the Ceann Comhairle and the Dáil business committee requesting that Mr Donohoe make a statement at the earliest possibly opportunity and answer questions about omissions in the disclosure he made to the Standards in Public Office Commission.
