Dr. Martina Cleary @ClarePyrite tells TDs how 'very few solicitors' want to 'take on the might and power' of the block manufacturers who supplied defective bricks

'It's your responsibility as politicians to peruse these people'

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Martina Hegarty @MayoPyrite claims in answering to Mayo TD Alan Dillon how in her view, everything around the operations of the redress scheme is 'anti-homeowner'

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Martina Hegarty @MayoPyrite raises concerns over whether homes will be insured if foundations aren't covered in the scheme

Also concerns over whether decisions on grants are being made purely on desktop exercises

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Martina Hegarty @MayoPyrite says: 'We are extremely concerned about what lies underneath our homes.

Many homeowners are reporting cracking floors, jamming doors, which indicate either issues with the foundations or possible pyrite heave, similar to.. Dublin'

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Doherty also references engineers and scientific concerns regarding rebuilding rather than demolishing homes

'Ignoring science is a cheap sticking solution that will drive homeowners through this nightmare not once, but
twice in their lifetime'

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Michael Doherty @micaactiongroup tells Oireachtas Housing Committee hearing on redress scheme how homeowners have been made out to be 'opportunists looking for something for nothing' when all they want is to rebuild homes like for like

[MAG @mag_justice]

No wonder @DarraghOBrienTD & @MichealMartinTD didn't want scrutiny of the Bill.
》Unworkable Rates and Caps
》Science Ignored
》Homeowners Excluded

Every single practical proposal from homeowners, many at zero cost - ignored.

That's not "engagement"
That's deceit.

[Mary McLaughlin @MaryMcL10747733]

Listen to the experts today @DarraghOBrienTD we are not going to accept any more unfit schemes. Last chance. #100PercentRedress #RightThisTime @micaactiongroup

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

This scheme is "anti-homeowner" and "set up to fail"

[Professor Paul Dunlop @ProfPaulDunlop]

This is is what internal sulfate attack looks like close up in Donegal using a scanning electron microscope. This is thaumasite, a by-product of sulfur released by oxidised pyrrhotite, attacking the concrete block. Thaumasite sulfate attack destroys concrete. #RightThisTime

[Mayo Pyrite @MayoPyrite]

We are still "not campaigning for the sake of campaigning" @MichealMartinTD

We are & will continue to campaign until you deliver #100percentredress for all of the homeowners in the #defectivedozen

This is what we deal with everyday. End the suffering.

#RightThisTime

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

The above video tells us that the govt do not want a science lead redress scheme because the information is there, it's accessible, and should prompt any rational and curious mind to seek more clarity and information

They're clearly not listening

#MicaRedress #100PercentRedress

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

Why are we calling for Pre Legislative Scrutiny?

Because experts, researchers, scientists - the whole shabang - can provide a heap of evidence, know how and expertise for this scheme to be #RightThisTime

#100PercentRedress

[MAG @mag_justice]

Have a listen to these presentations followed by a Q&A session with experts Bradley Staniforth Senior Geomaterials Scientist & Corinne Garner, Senior Mineralogist from @PetrolabLtd

@DarraghOBrienTD @NSAI_Standards Listen to the experts #RightThisTime

[Paddy's Powerful Bottle @PaddyDiver4]

🏚️ THE DEFECTIVE DOZEN 🏚️

Today our focus shifts to Donegal and Mayo, two counties at the coalface of this scandal

Every other county in Ireland should be looking at us and Mayo as your ghost of Christmas future
