It is significant and positive that the relevant financial providers, Dublin City Council, NAMA and other interested parties are prepared to engage. I am giving them a short time to come up with options to provide solutions for Priory Hall owners, both the residents and the buy-to-lets. I have delivered for Priory Hall residents where others have failed. I will not take any lectures from people who have driven a coach and four through building regulations in the past and who have done nothing about modifying those regulations to ensure this does not happen again. The regulations I signed in July 2013 will make a major impact and will make it difficult for unscrupulous developers or construction professionals to repeat the disaster of Priory Hall.
