Construction Defects Alliance is an informal alliance of homeowners and Owners’ Management Companies campaigning for redress for owners of defective homes
After 8.5 years working on apartment defects issue it's great - at last - to be discussing draft legislation to tackle the problem before @OireachtasNews Housing Committee last night.

A lot of work to be done yet.
Delighted to have taken part in the ‘Behind the Story’ podcast with @rte@franmcnulty and Jackie Fox this afternoon on issues facing Ireland’s apartments and the people who live in them.

First significant allocation of €293 million funding for remediation of apartment and other defects.
Well done to @JamesBrowneTD and
@DeptHousingIRL
Now we need to get on with fixing procurement issues with Interim Remediation Scheme and bring legislation before Housing JOC
Remembering those who died at Grenfell Tower eight years ago today.
Their tragic and needless deaths due to greed, carelessness, indifference and lack of respect.
Here in Ireland we've only avoided such a tragedy by the grace of God.
Time to legislate for defects remediation.
Very moving to visit Grenfell Tower where so many people died needlessly.
The memory of this awful tragedy has spurred so many of us involved in @AllianceDefects to tackle fire safety issues in Ireland's apartment buildings.

Congrats to @JamesBrowneTD on his appointment as Minister for Housing.
@AllianceDefects is looking forward to working with him in the implementation of the PFG commitments on tackling apartment defects and building on the strong legacy left by his predecessor @DarraghOBrienTD
Draft PFG was published yesterday and it follows through on commitments made by all parties during #GE2024
Thanks to @fiannafailparty and @FineGael negotiators
@AllianceDefects looks forward to working with incoming Government to getting full defects remediation scheme sorted
Great to have a full set of ✅ from the most of the parties.
Especially important for @FineGael to acknowledge ongoing issues around dispute resolution, service charges and sinking funds, given the party’s ministerial responsibility for our sector since 2011.
@AllianceDefects & @MudReform conducted an analysis of party responses to our asks on defects & OMC law reform.
Here’s the outcome.
Consider before voting on Friday.

Thanks to the political representatives who attended the @MudReform & @AllianceDefects hustings last night.
As discussed, in the coming days we hope to produce some analysis of all party manifestos on the topics of legislative reform and construction defects.
