Donegal TD Accuses Govt of Blocking Defective Homes Redress

from Ocean FM News Reports · host OceanFM Ireland

A Donegal TD has accused the Government of deliberately leaving families living in dangerously defective homes to avoid paying out under the concrete blocks scheme. Deputy Charles Ward says homeowners who clearly qualify under IS 465, including those with high mica levels and Group 4 damage, are being shut out through technical excuses. The Doengal Deputy claims this is putting families in immediate danger, with people left afraid to live in homes officially classed as unsafe. Speaking in the Dáil, the Independent Deputy says this is not a mistake but a deliberate pattern that must be stopped. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
