We also purchased on Phase 1 over 2 years ago and think we are in a block near you. To be honest we didn't expect the development to be complete when originally scheduled, but would say that we weren't aware of a couple of things. One being that the development would be as big - we were led to believe by the sales company we used that Phase 1 was it and any further phases would be separate sites!
I would rather the builder take their time and get it right than rush and do a botch job, but that's our personal choice.
Sorry, we aren't from Ireland.
