The report stated that 19 units at Ormonde House were at the position of 'Turnkey/ Construction', alongside the comment: "Completed. To be tenanted in May."
Ormonde House units were advertised on the Choice-Based Letting scheme in May 2025 by Waterford City and County Council. However, after letters of offers were sent to approved applicants, problems were found at the site. A statement from the Council a the time read: "Subsequently, a number of issues were identified with the building. Waterford City and County Council informed applicants of these issues and advised that, should they prefer, alternative accommodation could be sourced in place of the Ormonde House units. To date, alternative accommodation has been sourced for three applicants."
