Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Once again I raise the plight of the residents of Priory Hall in my new constituency of Dublin Bay North. As the Minister will be aware, more than 250 families were forced to leave their homes to seek alternative accommodation owing to safety concerns. I note with interest that he has said he is supportive of the residents. All involved, from the Minister and the Government to Dublin City Council, need to up their game to support them. Does he or the Government really understand their anguish and hurt? They urgently need homes and justice. Does he realise that many people on the northside of Dublin believe the residents of Priory Hall are the Palestinians of the northside? They are ignored and have been exploited and treated in a despicable manner. I urge the Minister to get on with the job and show more support to the residents. When is the Finnegan report due to issue?
