You would think that professional engineers could use their own professional judgement to make decisions on homes, so what is the @HousingAgencyIE at & why aren't they providing advice to assess the impacts of internal sulfate attack which is the primary cause of concrete failure
I'll tell you what, if this was my profession that was being questioned and undermined I wouldn't be keeping my mouth shut. They need to stand up and speak out. Surely their professional integrity is worth that much?
#DefectiveConcreteCrisis
To be clear. Home owners don't want 'more' than 100% Redress, they want the scheme to allow them to return their homes to how they were. The scheme, as proposed, doesn't do that. Home owners would have to find 10s of 000s. Common sense proposals,like downsizing,are being ignored
Dear taxpayer
The government is insisting that we build our new homes on top of these old foundations to save the Exchequer some change
The "Defective Bill" by @DarraghOBrienTD is a non starter

The majority of homes damaged by defective blocks will likely need to be knocked down, an international expert has warned, in a development that’s likely to swell the cost of the state’s redress scheme. https://t.co/Txxnv4Zxau
Not trying to point out the obvious @DarraghOBrienTD@MichealMartinTD@McConalogue but the aggregate that came from this quarry is THE SAME aggregate that was used to manufacture the blocks for the walls and the concrete for the foundations. #RightThisTime
SUNDAY SERVICE
This family want to rebuild their home but they're also not happy to gamble (tax payers money + their own) to rebuild it on the old foundations
Govt know the science behind why foundations need to be included, they're just not willing to listen

🤔 @DarraghOBrienTD not much change since Nov?
🖥National Media monitoring a political threat
420k cap should be eliminated or at a minimum increased with inflation to 460k
Smaller Homes are hit hard
Downsizing prevented
#RightThisTime
A house once stood on this money pit. It was demolished due to defective blocks
nobody can say with any certainty that the foundations that remain will be not rot away also
But Govt WILL NOT support homeowners removing the foundations before rebuilding, taking a HUGE RISK⚠️
