Dublin Bay North Labour TD Sean Kenny has welcomed the announcement that the Government is intervene to find fair and equitable solutions for Priory Hall homeowners and for the future of the complex.

"Senior officials in the Department of the Environment have been asked to initiate dialogue that includes representatives of Dublin City Council, the Irish Banking Federation, NAMA, the former residents of
Priory Hall and other stakeholders and to report back to the Government within three weeks with a proposed resolution."

"It has become clear that, regrettably, the resolution process under that was undertaken by Mr Justice Finnegan has not been able to identify a basis that was able to deal with the various matters involved in the Priory Hall issue."

"The most urgent need is to identify a solution for the former owner-occupiers of Priory Hall, who have been stuck in a totally unacceptable position. All parties involved in Priory Hall, have been asked to come together in good faith. It is vital that the former residents are facilitated in as timely a manner as possible so that they can put this behind them and get on with their lives."

"I hope that, after repeatedly raising this matter in the Dail and also with various Ministers over the past few years, that this is finally the beginning of the end of the terrible situation the residents of Priory Hall are in."
