Defective apartments redress
Bríd Smith condemned the Government’s response to the defective apartment and duplex crisis and demanded full redress for affected owners.
It is a disgrace that the Government can sit stony-faced, having done absolutely nothing to help the 100,000 apartment and duplex dwellers who are listed in the defective apartment report. In my constituency, dozens of people have just received a demand for €8,500 within 30 days and yet here we are, in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. The Government gives people a little bit here and a little bit there but what is it going to do to address the question of defective apartments and duplexes and to give these people 100% redress? After all, it was the Taoiseach's party which gave carte blanche to those in the Galway tent back during the Celtic tiger era.
