Legislation is now due to pass in 2024, with payments set to be in place later that year — close to next election
A €2.5 billion scheme to fix defective Celtic Tiger-era apartment blocks may not come on stream during the lifetime of this Government, with the timeline for new laws slipping until the middle of next year at least.
Campaigners now say the Coalition is in a race against time to get the scheme up and running before a general election.Some People Need Killing and A Death in Malta: journalists shine a light on human rights abuses Mr Ó Broin said the news would come as a “body blow” to those living in Celtic Tiger-era defective properties. “Minister O’Brien had repeatedly promised that the legislation would be introduced this year and the full redress scheme would open in 2024.
Odette Doran, who owns a defective apartment in Dublin, said there was a “lack of urgency” on short-term funding which meant those living in the apartments had to tolerate ongoing risks. “Until the emergency funding is up and running no one is safe until everyone is safe,” she said. The Government has said it will take years to address defects in areas such as fire safety and water ingress which are widespread across apartment buildings constructed during the Celtic Tiger.
