21-Day Deadline Set For Priory Hall Solution
The mortgages of former residents of Priory Hall should be "wiped out" and the keys handed back to the banks, the government is to recommend.
Officials from the environment office are to meet with Dublin City Council, NAMA, the Irish Banking Federation and former residents in an effort to find a "proposed resolution".
Minister Phil Hogan has set a deadline of 21-days to find a solution agreeable to the former residents.
Some sixty-five families were forced to leave Priory Hall almost two years ago over fire safety issues.
Those families have remained in temporary accommodation since, paid for Dublin City Council, who are in turn reimbursed by central government.
