Memo on supports for defective apartments to go to Cabinet today

MINISTER FOR HOUSING Darragh O’Brien will today seek Cabinet approval for the drafting of a scheme to support the rectification of defective apartments. It’s understood that the memo to Cabinet this morning will outline supports for the remediation of fire safety, structural safety and water ingress defects in purpose-built apartment buildings, including duplexes, constructed between 1991 and 2013.

A report published last July by the Working Group to Examine Defects in Housing estimated that the number of apartments and duplexes constructed between 1991 and 2013 affected by one or more defects is likely to range between 50% and 80%. This equates to between 62,500 and 100,000 apartments/duplexes. The average cost of undertaking the remediation of defects is likely to be approximately €25,000 per apartment/duplex.

An Garda Síochána had also been consulted on the outcomes that different parts of the bill could have on their policing of safe access zones.

Pretty sure it's 'affected' not 'effected'

“effected”?
