Oh look, itās glas making stuff up so he can handwring and be sanctimonious. The ultimate virtue signaller. The type who goes all publicly woke to some manufactured outrage by a female heās actually wanting to shift.

Touchy touchy. Flatty from the big house thinks the little ladeens getting some support for their houses falling down around them are ānot appreciate enoughā.
Sure you want lads who borrowed money from banks to buy holiday homes to be protected!!!
There you go, making things up again.
Itās utterly pointless engaging with you as you just twist the narrative so you can get your knickers in a twist and make public what a lovely chap you are on an obscure internet forum.
Perhaps I read you wrong, did you not specifically say that the people affected should be more appreciative?
If someone takes on a mortgage to buy a holiday home and the home falls down, they still owe the bank the same amount of money. Despite the fact that the security for the loan (the house) is gone, the bank can follow them for full amount of the debt outstanding. The bank can pursue them for any other assets they have, such as their family home. I have a big issue with that, either the people should be supported or the bank should take the hit.
No, I said that people who bought a house in an entirely private contract, which was then proven to be defective, should be thankful that the state was stepping in with hundreds of thousands of euros to sort out their problem.
Again, you twist everything to suit whatever flag you are trying to wave.

Why did they take a mortgage out to buy a holiday home?
Seems very reckless. A bit like Sean Quinn borrowing money to invest in banking shares. Did you have an issue with Quinn being chased for his assets once the shares proved to be dodgy?

And how is that different to what I said? I think these people are at absolutely no fault and should be supported. In cases like this it falls on the state to step, because at the end of the day itās ultimately the stateās fault this happened.
Your take is people should be grateful for whatever hand out they get, as if they donāt deserve it. I think itās an unusual slant.
I really donāt get why you get so pissy when someone disagrees with your take on something on a discussion board sometimes. Relax.
I did not say this at all in any way shape or form.
No it isnāt. Itās the fault of the manufacturers. A private company.

erm
Ultimately the state regulates, or fails to regulate, the environment the company operates in. If the state has some it job this doesnāt happen.
U wot mate?

I wouldnāt like to see you running away from another spurious position youāve taken up.
Bumped for Flatty. I may have paraphrased you but I think I was pretty close.
The 2017 report included clarification from the National Standards Authority that a 1% limit applies to the quantity of mica or other harmful impurities in concrete blocks.
This is covered by a statutory instrument. In a number of the impacted homes in Donegal, the levels in samples taken were significantly higher.
Any company placing construction products on the market has specific legal responsibilities which state they will not put a product on the market unless it has characteristics that satisfy requirements under regulations, such as Irelandās Building Control Regulations.
The 2017 report stated that during the period under consideration, building control authorities did not have the technical resources in-house to test construction products which may have been non-compliant with the requirements of the Construction Products Directive. All enforcement activity was performed within existing local authority budgets.
No mate, you were nowhere near.
I thought you slightly brighter than this, but š¤·
Bizarre post, I wonāt be replying to it. But Iād you want to take the side of the banks go right ahead.
Apologies Flatty mate, my mistake.
