Insult to injury. A victim of the defective concrete crisis is facing a 9 week delay to rebuilding their home as the planning application was deemed void due to this sign being water damaged!
"We shouldn't be living like this. It's 2023, and we should not be living in this house."

For years families affected by defective blocks have watched their homes crumble.
Any one of the many problems they face would be a homeowners’ worst nightmare, but in recent times, another has been growing.

Irish media’s total silence on the latest expenses scandal involving multiple Government ministers should tell you all you need to know about Irish media priorities: Protect FFG at all costs.
If Niall Collins was working as a full time taxi driver, he’d still not have driven the miles he’s claimed he was driving as a minister. This crook claims to have driven around the world more than three times in a year. In reality he’s just screwing tax payers for expenses💰
@businessposthq Last year, Housing Officials arrogantly disregarded concerns about liability, stubbornly ramming through a failed scheme despite clear and valid warnings from professionals.
Now, unsurprisingly engineers are unable to obtain indemnity insurance
Defective Concrete Blocks Govt
FACTS vs GOVT SPIN
The DCB scheme cannot be 'like for like' when the scheme takes no account of when the house was built, to what standard, to what energy efficiency or to what finish.
Even Govt official cannot explain it.
“It cannot be overstated how fundamental it is to get this science right. Homeowners at the moment cannot move forward because they cannot make informed decisions. The issue around fundamentals, around foundations, is a huge road block. We have to have the answer…
It is crucial for the government to pay heed to senior officials like John McLaughlin in the council who advocate for the removal of foundations.
If the government fails to conduct proper scientific research, they should adopt a precautionary approach and prioritize removal.
Feargal Ó’Coigligh, who has responsibility for the Housing Policy Division, today officially put on the record that the majority of people affected by defective concrete blocks *will* get 100% redress. This is greatly at odds with the views of affected families.
What chance have we of getting things right when the department
"fergal o coigligh" states the "vast majority will get 100% redress"
Go watch the finance committe discussion last week. IDIOTS - @DeptHousingIRL
Raging 😡😡😡😡 how dare u
Last night, details emerged of the long awaited scheme for defective blocks. If it delivers its promises, it would be the county's largest-ever state investment.
Govt absense on @highlandradio spoke volumes, conveying a significant message in itself.

Niall Collins was one of seven councillors who voted to sell public land his wife had asked to buy from the council a month earlier.
Collins's wife is now in negotiations to sell the council five social housing units on the site.
