Bloody disgraceful. They should be put up in 5 star accommodation with the developer paying the bill

i spent some time in the building game and was horrified to see the poor standard of work carried out in ireland, even by people like the e.s.b., meters wired up incorrectly, fusebox’s wired wrong (lighting cable used for sockets, twin and earth cable used for cookers ) no earth straps on appliences, no earth sheathing on sockets, in one house i even saw a cut down nail jammed into a fuse housing ” because the fuses kept blowing” , on 90% of the sites there was no proper supervison and definatly no ‘cleark of works ‘ or inspection before signing off, young fella’s only just out of scool or collage doing 1st and 2nd fix’s without supervision, i was twice told to leave sites because i was deemed to be a ‘trouble maker’ for insisting that work was carried out properly and safely with proper materials and no shortcuts. i for one am not suprised by these developments and believe me their will be many more ‘priory hills’ to follow. so sorry for those people who have to suffer this for the greed of yet another developer, the bastards should be jailed.

So many things has made us angry over the past 3 years but this surely tops the lot.

a pure disgrace.

And I bet the judge gives the builder/developer free legal aid. What a stupid thing to do, not fire proof
the building, just an oversight maybe. It’s criminal and builder/ developer should go to jail for life.
Sorry, I forgot we do not punish criminals in this country.

I think this is only the tip of the iceberg

Went by here today very sad its going on since 2009 and they end up in the regency not even a playground in walking distance for kids

Give them the thousands of houses that lie empty. you know the ones, that sucked this country dry then were boarded up.

Nama,developers,dub corporation,all in bed together…this needs seriously lookn into…fire brigade at the gates…DO YOU THINK WERE THICKS

“Light Touch” building regulation?

Maybe we should have a whip-round and use the money to send Sean Kenny a copy of a dictionary…

If this happened in South Dublin, half the cabinet would be stuck outside handwringing in full media glare on behalf of someone’s friend, offspring or other, and helping move the Louis Vuitton accessories. How many other structures are in similar condition but remain undetected? Third world stuff. Terrible for the homeowners involved.

Living here 3years the place is falling apart! Woke up one morning thinking it was raining went back asleep then got up for work put my feet on floor to a soggy carpet! It wasn’t raining. water was just coming from roof inside it stopped about 3hours later called management company they call around to have a look! Sorry cant see where its coming from if it starts again we’ll have another look!! Then to be told that the block insurance wont cover until 5000euro worth of damage has to be done be4 they’ll pay!! DCC are at fault they left us here since xmas 2009 knowing that we were in danger… They are very lucky that no fire ever happend it would have been stardust X10

I would be afraid to buy any property in Ireland – you don’t know what you are getting.

@william totally agree with you there william,the reason all this is happening is because there getting away with it.absolutely disgraceful all them poor families and kids getting thrown out of there own homes,and ur right if this hsppened in an exclusive area southside you would see all the politicians complaining.what is it with the irish these generations,everyone just keeps quiet as long as it doesnt impact on there lives,the proper irishmen of the 1916 generation would turn in there graves if they only saw what and who they gave there lives up for.Ireland is a police state,always has been and always will be,and until the irish get some courage,and stand by each other,our kids will be the ones to suffer in the long run,no jobs having to pay off all the debts that the low lifes have created,i say we organise a coup and finish the job off that the heroes of 1916 started.

When oh when are people going to stand up for themselves…….. as Ireland approaches the centenary of Ireland inc. why don’t we simply give up —– join Northern Ireland, become part of the UK again and maybe regain some semblance of dignity…….. OR, carry on being the spineless inward looking greedy paddies we appear to be! Oh and Adam, you’re damned right….. a different response to this ridiculous carry on would be the case were it the southside…….. $&**&$£ sickening
