Residents of apartments in Dublin, who have already paid for remedial works to be carried out, are hoping the Government will 'stick to their word' and provide compensation under the new defects scheme

However, after a fire in another apartment building in the complex in 2017, all residents were informed that remedial works were needed to address fire safety issues that had been identified.

"Some people signed up to pay it over a certain length of time, some people paid it upfront, some people borrowed money to pay it," Ms Horan said. However, Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien has said that remediation work already completed, or currently under way will be covered. "It's a welcome and significant step forward but there is a huge amount of detail to be worked out yet," Mr Montague told RTÉ News.

"We've got to make sure that whatever scheme is put in place is fit for purpose, in other words, that it will work in practice," Mr Montague said.
