The Taoiseach previously disclosed that an apartment he owned in Castleknock, west Dublin was in a building with defects. “While I will not be claiming from the scheme personally, the owner’s management company might, and I could be an indirect beneficiary in that regard,” he said last January. “We have five weeks left in the Dáil calendar and there has been no emergency funding, no legislation has been published,” she said. “So when will that funding be available, when will we see the legislation and when will the full redress scheme be open for applications?”
The Dublin Central TD mentioned a couple, Gary and Lorraine, who had bought their “dream home” in Ennis, Co Clare when they retired. “They looked forward to their life free from debt after decades of hard work but after they moved in defects were discovered and they now face bills running into tens of thousands of euros in their retirement,” she said.
“The insurance company now threatens to walk away completely, a really frightening prospect,” she added.
