Representatives of former Priory Hall residents are expected to announce today that they are happy to move{ forward on a new mortgage plan brokered by government officials.
A residents' committee is scheduled to meet this evening with Taoiseach Enda Kenny who personally pledged that their difficulties would be resolved.
Mr Kenny had received a letter from former resident Stephanie Meehan whose partner Fiachra Daly took his own life.
She is expected to meet with the Taoiseach in government buildings this evening around 5pm.
The resolution brokered by senior civil servants came after talks involving property owners, financial institutions and Dublin City Council.
Under the plan announced by Environment Minister Phil Hogan, around 90 former owner-occupiers will have their old mortgage debs written off and be given a fresh start with new 100% mortgages to buy homes.
The new mortgages are expected to be equivalent to the existing ones which were for properties costing an average of around €260,000.
Loans will be worked out depending on current individual circumstances and there will be a deal for two cash buyers.
The former residents will not get back their original deposits or four years of mortgage repayments made before the complex was evacuated because of fire safety defects.
There are 27 buy-to-let investors who will be treated separately and they have "tentatively" agreed to accept a two-year moratorium on their mortgages rather than the fresh start offered to home owners, according to spokesman Ritchie Flood.
The investors have been promised a complete refurbishment of the 187-unit complex.
Costing €10 million, the work will be paid from government funds and be carried out by Dublin City Council.
"They have told us that the units will be completely gutted and refurbished with new facades and new internals. We have tentatively agreed to move on these assurances and that we will be given a say in the design" said Mr Flood.
The Department of the Environment has introduced new building regulations designed to ensure that the problems experienced at Priory Hall will not happen again.
A Department spokesperson said that Priory Hall was a unique case because the residents were forced out of their homes during a court action and this came on top of litany of other defects identified at the buildings.
Residents had to leave their homes after legal action two years ago by Dublin City Council when its fire officers said the complex was dangerous and a fire-trap.
