The architect behind the controversial Longboat Quay apartment complex in Dublin claims he'd move in immediately if he had enough money.

Speaking to the Sunday Times Eugene van Jaarsveld said he's 'sceptical' about the extent of supposed dangers.

900 residents have been given a month to carry out massive remedial works to bring the building up to fire safety standards - or face eviction.

The landlord - the Dublin Docklands Development Authority - has offered to pay 58% of the cost, but that still leaves a bill of around 2 million to be financed by management and apartment owners.

The architect has challenged claims that walls, smoke vents and fire doors are inadequate.
