The Minister for Housing has criticised developer Tom McFeely, saying he was 'absolutely wrong' in a recent interview he gave about Priory Hall.

Mr. McFeely said he has nothing to apologise for in relation to the building of the defective apartment complex.

He was speaking on the BBC 'Spotlight' show last night where he said he did not believe the north Dublin apartment complex was a fire hazard.

Priory Hall had to be evacuated in 2011 due to safety concerns. But Tom McFeely said the problems could have been fixed. His comments are put in context by Newstalk's Chris Donoghue.

Housing Minister Jan O'Sullivan says Mr. McFeely is absolutely wrong in everything he has said, and has rubbished his claims that nothing was wrong with the development.

The Taoiseach has said Priory Hall was part of a "disaster" in the construction sector.

Speaking at the National Employment Week conference in Dublin this morning Enda Kenny says the apartments were part of a dangerous and speculative property market.

He says the circumstances that led to the development of Priory Hall need to be left in the past.

Spokesman for the former residents Graham Usher told Newstalk Breakfast they just want to move on.
