This is a disgrace. Are you endorsing the delivery of this course by allowing it to be held in your head office @EngineerIreland?

[Marti_McE @Marti_McE1]

@EngineerIreland Another course all you budding #UnethicalEngineers may enjoy & add to your resume is the widely acknowledged as "Not Fit for Purpose" & obsolete IS465. Currently under review and ignoring pyrrhotite. 05/11/2025 10.30 Sharp! @EngineerIreland @EU_Commission https://t.co/pfs6SNPRV7

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@ProfPaulDunlop @EngineerIreland @NSAI_Standards Wonder would it be anything to do with jumping on the Housing Agency's gravy train? Framework Engineers needed, government indemnified and free to shaft more defective concrete homeowners?

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@adriancummins @adriancummins any murmurings on the minimum wage increase?

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

This isn't a surprise.

[Marti_McE @Marti_McE1]

Some might find this interesting, It shows clearly how unfair Donegal #DefectiveConcreteCrisis victims were treated from the beginning. Thanks to Liam Mulligan of @AontuIE. Our rapidly deteriorating homes are not our fault! Please read further in comments.

[Marti_McE @Marti_McE1]

This is worthy of 10 minutes of your time. This is the reality. This is the truth for #DefectiveConcreteCrisis families, a hell that was never their fault. Thank you to @ProfPaulDunlop

“Families have been left living in unsafe, crumbling houses through no fault of their own. It is simply unacceptable that they are still waiting for justice. This cannot continue.” @ciaranmullooly - Thank you! @charleswardtd

March 2023 - Pyrrhotite not Mica destroying Donegal homes - the Government allowed homes to be judged on a flawed & "Not fit for Purpose" standard failing families like mine.
Defective concrete blocks are failing ‘because of pyrrhotite and not mica.’ https://t.co/kDhLJBPMjV

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

If they weren't government indemnified would the Downgrading of IS465 Registered Chartered Engineers recommendations have happened? I doubt it. @DeptHousingIRL @fiannafailparty @EngineerIreland

[Marti_McE @Marti_McE1]

Government Indemnified, Framework Engineers contracted to @HousingAgencyIE were directed to "assess the extent of damage to date" - They didn't. These homes never stopped deteriorating. @JamesBrowneTD @charleswardtd @PadraigMacL @EngineerIreland @fiannafailparty @FineGael

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

Yet our home in the wilds of Donegal was downgraded because of MICA? Pull the other one. This joke is up

[Marti_McE @Marti_McE1]

Ganter Bridge - a reinforced concrete road bridge in Switzerland. It was completed in 1980. Made from MICA concrete & exposed to harsh alpine climates. My Donegal Home is not cracking due to "MICA". @DeptHousingIRL @NSAI_Standards @HousingAgencyIE @JamesBrowneTD @fiannafailparty

@adriancummins @adriancummins was ours not supposed to go to 9% on July 1st this year, was that not an election promise??

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@adriancummins @peterburkefg Was it not supposed to be reduced on July 1st this year

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@EngineerIreland
My wife @Marti_McE is wondering why, as the Governing Body for Engineers in Ireland you are not dealing with the Downgraded Homeowners valid complaints? Listen from 28 minutes.

Great to have Dr Andreas Leemann from @Empa_CH presenting and overview of our @UlsterUni @DeptHousingIRL1 @GeolSurvIE fundedresearch consortium who identified internal sulfate attack is the primary cause of defective concrete in Ireland. @NSAI_Standards

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@Marti_McE does not stop. She is relentless and I'm very proud of her. Our girls have one fearless lady as their Mum.
She won't stop. She is right.
What's happened to Downgraded homeowners is a huge injustice.
@JamesBrowneTD meet her and hear us.

[Professor Paul Dunlop @ProfPaulDunlop]

Thanks @lukeming for coming to support our @UlsterUni detective concrete conference 2025 to meet campaigners and share what's happening on this issue with @EU_Commission & the EU on this issue. @Marti_McE was glad to raise the downgraded homeowners with you

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

This is our home. @EngineerIreland are these Engineering decisions in the public interest?

@adriancummins @Failte_Ireland @DeptEnterprise @TheHSA I actually thought this was a joke @adriancummins

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@RebBarrettNP Man stabbed in a shopping centre in letterkenny last year, local lads involved, what's your point?

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@GusK16 @ukgolfguy @CarneGolfLinks That's my opinion, that's all it is......you hit your second down into a hole basically......... I'm not knocking the place it's just all opinions

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@GusK16 @ukgolfguy @CarneGolfLinks I can't remember the layout it was nearly a year ago, 1st hole wasn't great, 2 severe doglegs in a row aren't great, 18 is a poor hole

[Robert Mc Elhinney @RElhinney]

@ProfPaulDunlop @DeptHousingIRL I was saying to my wife this week I cannot understand why our councillors and opposition TDs are saying more about these timeframes being imposed, how can anyone be sure they're going to get a builder lined up and get a house demolished and rebuilt in less than 18 months
