The Government's expected to approve a scheme to repair Celtic Tiger apartment defects which could cost the State up to 2.5 billion euro.
Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien is bringing a memo to cabinet today which will cover fire, structural safety and water caused defects on apartment buildings and duplexes built between 1991 and 2013.
It's expected somewhere between 62,500 and 100,000 housing units are affected and the average cost of remediation will be roughly 25,000 euro, leaving a potential cost to the State of between 1.56 billion and 2.5 billion euro.
The Construction Defects Alliance is linked with more than 200 defective developments around the country.
Spokesperson Pat Montague says the scheme must cover those who have already paid for remedial works.
