ESB reported profits after tax of €868m for 2023, up over 30% on the previous year and this….???

These homes held every memory, now their walls will crumble to dust, we'll take every positive with us but only because we must!

So, to anyone starting the process or just observing and having a moan, there's nothing at all positive about destroying your family's home. What's more, having to fight, so as not to drown in debt, while politicians favour The Pale, is the biggest injustice yet!

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

take out all possessions, find a dry place for these things, shelter somewhere else for now and survive the stress this brings. Some say (unfeeling) Ach it'll be fine! In fact, you may even do quite well! (because everyone builds their home, hoping the bricks will crumble to Hell

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

But now we must strip the roof once lit by countless suns, rip out windows that protected those inside, both old and young, Toss door frames that closed the world out, day after busy day, demolish bricks that might have held, had greed not gotten its way,

Playrooms held everyone's children and entertained in countless ways, the walls- a museum of progress with crayoned heights down the architrave.

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

Tables held spreads laid daily, gathered family round like vines, rushed meals or lazy lunches, Christmas dinners or birthday times. Hallways held Friday night races, Up and down, after warm baths, the wheels still echo round the walls, amid infant shouts and laughs.

I wanted to share a fantastic poem written by @kayward905 on the experience of being a defective concrete victim

These stairs welcomed sleepy children up to bed after growing hours, sprinting down on special mornings, through every season's flowers.

This @DonalMacNamee97 headline says a lot about the so called 'enhanced' defective concrete scheme. Pre-legislative scrutiny for the scheme was rejected by government & now we have 'Engineers cast doubt on €3bn mica redress scheme' https://t.co/qfoOxiQcce via @businessposthq

Thank you to the hundreds of DCB homeowners who came to the meeting last night to have their say in what a True 100% Redress Scheme looks like. The huge attendance sends a very strong message to all politicians.

Prevention: Never allowed to happen again through the implementation of meaningful regulatory governance and a public enquiry to hold those responsible to account

No quarry should ever put anyone in this country what we've all been put though. Simple.

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

People and Support: No one left behind - prioritisation yes, exclusion no

The current scheme is undeniably designed to keep people off of it. A cynical approach from a heartless housing department

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

Process: End to end scheme administered by the state, at no cost to the homeowner, with an opt out for those that prefer to build themselves

This is extremely important to old age pensioners and many other vulnerable people

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

What are the four principles of 100% Redress?

Property: Rebuild the home "like for like" to CURRENT standards

[Radio Kerry Sport @radiokerrysport]

So how was everyone else feeling during the last few moments?
