"Our homes are crumbling around us" - Mica 10.11.14

DONEGAL homeowners distressed by the widespread cracking and crumbling of their homes are invited to the first public meeting on the issue in Burt next Monday.
The families, who allege their homes may have been built with defective blocks, are seeking a redress scheme from the Government similar to the Pyrite Resolution scheme afforded homeowners in the Dublin area.
The meeting has been organised by the Mica Action Group, which is urging all homeowners affected or those interested in finding out more about this issue to attend the meeting.
Mica Action Group committee member Damien McCauley who recently had to undertake significant remedial works to his home. Many Donegal homeowners are enduring the distressing appearance of weblike cracks on the plaster and cornerstones of their houses.
A number of experts, Donegal TDs and elected representatives will also be in attendance 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," said Mica Action Group chairman William McElhinney.
"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”
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 Donegal County Manager have also been invited.

The meeting will be held at An Grianan Hotel, Burt, on Monday November 17, 2014 at 7.30pm.
