Dublin City Council is expecting NAMA to help cover the cost of repairs at the Longboat Quay apartment complex, which was built by a Clare developer.
Last night Councilors passed an emergency motion to ensure that residents won't have to bare the financial burden of fire safety works worth around 4 million euro.
It had been built by Gendsong, a company owned by Lisdoonvarna developer and former County Councillor Bernard McNamara, which has now gone into receivership.
Officials have given the 900 tenants just a month to carry out the repairs or face possible eviction.
The Council has now offered them unanimous cross-party support and Sinn Féin Councillor Chris Andrews says the responsibility for the repairs lies elsewhere.
