However, a spokeswoman for developers Kennedy Wilson said the issue was caused by an internal leak and was not as a result of the storm.
Kennedy Wilson’s 22-storey scheme in Dublin’s south docklands was due to be available from January, and the spokeswoman said that will happen. The block includes 190 apartments, comprising one- two- and three-bed units.
The scheme’s two-bedroom units are being advertised at €3,300 a month.
The apartment block has a gym, on-site concierge, a cinema, 24-hour security, business suites, a games room and a chef’s kitchen.
