They set up new companies apparently.
Cowboys Ted.
Wonât be going that route, he covered his back enough in the report.
Fuck sake.
Do we not have a dedicated MICA thread? Maybe the COTY threadâŚ
What can we do to help pal
Edit. I assume there are houses on the other side of the border affected. Whatâs being done there?

Yeah corruption is bad
Iâve heard nothing on that actually but Iâd be surprised as building products are generally cheaper there
Itâs hard to know what to do until the report is produced. Theyâve committed to 100% redress but havenât said 100% of what. A house that was built for 180k in 2005 might cost 250k to rebuild now.
Itâs worrying that all Donegal politicians have gone quiet of this in the last month. I reckon the current Government parties are trying to kick the stone down the road until after the next general election and SF donât want to make promises theyâll have to follow through if theyâre in Government after it.
Iâve a feeling this will end up being treated as a humanitarian crisis and will be heavily funded by the EU.

Paddy is putting some shift in up and down to Dublin.
If you were ever to personify the controlled Donegal combination of madness, energy and decency itâs this lad

Treat it as a carbon reduction and training opportunity - every house has to be built to B1 BER or higher, lots of apprentices and end up with a workforce trained to roll similar across the country
Leo Varadkar.
Part of a Government that insisted on the taxpayer bailing out the corruption financial students but fuck the poor families that were provided with defective blocks thanks to an unregulated building sector.
An utter, utter cunt of a man.

Mr Varadkar said he understands the stress that people are under adding that the Government will do âour bestâ to come up with a scheme that is fair to the people whoâve been affected.
The headline doesnât really agree with the content
How many affected houses would you be talking about?
Em, he says that the taxpayer will have to be protected and the cost will have to be protected.
This is the second time that heâs tried to pour cold water on the redress scheme.
Low estimate 5,000.
Higher and more likely estimate 20,000+
A lot of votes youâd expect. Youâd at least get a single issue independent in?
All in Donegal?
Is that not a sensible position given the uncertainty over whether itâs 5k or 20k, or more again affected? I know of houses down here that have had reconstruction done on the block-suppliers dime, is that happening at all up there?
Good few in Clare. A house in Drumline was rated as most effected in country afaik. North Clare is riddled
The majority of companies up there in Donegal who dis building no longer exist is the block there if you excuse the pun
Is it not that theyâre trading as a different entity? The block suppliers moreso
Mayo, Clare and Linerick as well I think.
