Apartment owners at the Longboat Quay complex in Dublin’s Docklands are being presented with an improved offer towards the cost of fire safety works.

About 900 residents had been threatened with evacuation unless safety work began on repairs by the beginning of November. This deadline was later postponed due to legal proceedings. The initial cost for the repair works was approximated at €4m.

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) had originally offered €1.75m towards these costs, on top of €1m which was already allocated for upgrading the alarm system. But residents have reportedly rejected the offer with an improved offer set to be being tabled at a meeting today between the management company and the DDDA.
