Residents evacuated from Priory Hall are to be meet with Housing Minister Jan O'Sullivan this evening to discuss concerns about their future.
The meeting in the Dáil lasted about an hour.
The residents said afterwards that although there are no concrete proposals on their future yet, they were grateful that the Minister agreed to meet with them.
The meeting took place following last night's resolution from Dublin City Councillors calling for the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Environment Minister Phil Hogan to meet with the residents.
The more than 250 residents who are in temporary accomodation fear they will be left liable for their own rental costs on top of mortgage repayments from next month.
Minister Hogan who has responsibility for building control regulations has stated that he cannot meet the residents as there is a case before the courts.
The Supreme Court will be hearing an appeal by Dublin City Council against an order for it to pay the costs of accomodating the residents following the evacuation of the North Dublin apartment complex because of a serious fire safety risk.
The council has agreed to pay the residents' accomodation costs only until 3 February by which time it will have cost the local authority €700,000.
The residents have said they will have to default on mortgage repayments for their apartments if forced to pay rental costs.
The Supreme Court will also be fixing a date on 19 January for appeal by developer Tom McFeely against a prision sentence for failing to carry out remedial works.
This evening's meeting with residents is taking place in the Dáil with Minister of State for Housing O'Sullivan at the request of local Labour councillor Brian McDowell.
