Families in crumbling homes across Ireland have today released a statement urging the Government to reconsider a scheme that does not cover their costs and that is being 'rushed through' the Dail.
The Remediation of Dwellings Damaged By the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill is being debated in Leinster House today, and representatives of the Donegal Mica Action Group, Mayo Pyrite Action Group, Clare Pyrite Action Group, Limerick Action Group and Sligo Action Group issued a stinging response.
The broad brushstrokes of the Bill were announced last autumn, with families saying that the Bill was unfit for purpose, leaving families with tens of thousands of euros to pay to rebuild homes whose defects were no fault of their own.
