Longboat Quay
Dear Residents,
By now you will be fully aware of the situation in Longboat Quay, where 900 of our neighbours are facing evacuation from their homes as fire regulations were not followed during the building process. The situation is both complex and unconscionable but the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) has not yet responded with a reasonable solution to the problem.
The residents are currently doing everything they can to ensure the situation is resolved fairly and equitably.
We, the Grand Canal Dock Residents Association (GCDRA), want to extend both our sympathy and our support to the residents in their time of need.
This is not just a problem for the residents of Longboat Quay but it is a terrible situation for all residents in the Grand Canal Dock Area. The failure to resolve the issue and the evacuation of Longboat Quay would mean a nightmare scenario for Grand Canal Dock – vacant and abandoned apartments, the closure of local businesses, the loss of employment to the area and the loss of 900 of our friends and neighbours. This is not to mention leaving open the possibility of other residents being left with bills for similar building defects should further problems come to light in adjoining units.
We ask that, as residents of Grand Canal Dock, you join us in supporting our neighbours and demonstrate the community spirit on which our association was founded. Please help by
- DISCUSSING the issue with local businesses and encouraging them call on the DDDA and Dublin City Council (DCC) to resolve the problem.
- SPREAD THE MESSAGE at public meetings. Write to local TD’s, Cllrs and Government representatives to express your concerns.
- SIGN THE PETITION – uplift.ie have started a petition to compel DDDA Chief Owen Keegen to cover the full costs of repair, making the building and area safe and engage with residents in a fair and open manner.
Below is the link to the Longboat Quay petition. Please Sign, Tweet, Like, Ping and share the https://uplift.ie/longboat-quay/ link to friends, family and neighbours and show your support for the community.
Kind Regards
Interim Committee
Grand Canal Dock Resident’s Association
