Govt Vow To Help Priory Hall Residents
The government has vowed to help former residents of Priory Hall in Dublin, with Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan saying that they could be open to helping to rebuild the properties.
Around 300 residents were forced to abandon their homes in Priory Hall in 2011 after the building was declared unsafe.
Mr Hogan made his comments to RTÉ Radio, vowing to help the residents "solve their problem" and adding that "we may have to demolish and start again."
It is understood that a report is due to be presented to the High Court in October as part of ongoing legal action into the circumstances that led to the homes being evacuated.
