The Minister for Housing, Darragh O’Brien TD, has today made a final call for Donegal people to share their experiences of housing defects.
The survey relates to homeowners, landlords, directors of Owners’ Management Companies and Property Management Agents affected by housing defects relating to fire safety, structural safety and water ingress in purpose-built apartment and duplex buildings constructed in Donegal between 1991 and 2013.
The deadline for completing the surveys is Monday 14 March 2022.
These experiences are sought by the Independent Working Group to Examine Defects in Housing which was established by Minister O’Brien in February 2021.
Views are sought from people across Donegal regardless of whether such defects in those properties in Donegal are currently known, unknown or where no such defects have arisen.
The working group will use the survey information to inform its report to the Minister with particular regard to the following:
- the nature and scale of the issue of fire safety, structural safety and water ingress defects
- the difficulties that arise following the discovery of these defects
- the costs and levies associated with the remediation of the defects
Separate surveys for each stakeholder group are available at https://www.gov.ie/en/consultation/7e319-online-survey-in-relation-to-defects-in-apartment-and-duplex-buildings/
