The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has written to the management of the Longboat Quay apartments with an offer of financial support for the cost of the repair works needed.

In a statement the DDDA has said it understands that the Receiver over the assets of Gendsong Limited - whose interest includes 18 apartments in the complex - will also be making a substantial contribution towards the remediation works.

The combined amount will come to approximately €2.75m.

The estimated cost of the work to bring the Longboat Quay apartments up to fire prevention and safety standards is €4.75m.

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority and a receiver will contribute 58% of this - leaving roughly €2m to be financed by management and apartment owners.
