The first submissions to the Government’s working group on defective homes indicate that the cost of remedying Celtic Tiger-era building defects will be at least €365 million. The Construction Defects Alliance, which represents almost 400 affected homeowners, suggests in its submission that this sum is the “tip of the iceberg” with almost 21,000 impacted units now identified.
Pat Montague Coordinator of the Construction Defects Alliance spoke to Pat this morning.
