DONEGAL HOMEOWNERS URGED TO ATTEND FIRST PUBLIC MEETING ON DEFECTIVE BUILDING BLOCKS
For Immediate Release Moville 6th November 2014
The first public meeting held on the widespread cracking and crumbling of homes across the county caused by defective building blocks will be held at the An Grianan Hotel, Burt next Monday Nov 17th at 7.30pm.
The meeting organised by the Mica Action Group, which is campaigning for a redress scheme from the government, is urging all homeowners affected or those interested in finding out more about this issue to attend the meeting to discuss the situation with the group and some experts. A number of Donegal TD’s and elected representatives will also be there to listen and to talk to those affected.
“This meeting will help us send a very strong message to Dublin that this problem is widespread and is having a devastating impact on the lives of affected homeowners across the County. The Government do not believe this to be a major problem in Donegal and yet every day we are receiving calls and emails from people who are very worried that their homes are cracking and may also be built with defective blocks. This public meeting is a great opportunity to create awareness of what we have been doing and to enable affected homeowners to talk about the devastating impact this has had on their lives. It also offers us an opportunity to provide information and to answer some of the key questions and concerns that affected homeowners may have” said William Mc Elhinney, Chairperson, Mica Action Group
The meeting will also give the Mica Action Group an opportunity to present some of the key findings from its own survey of affected homes. Political Representatives, County Councillors and the County Manager have also been invited.
