#defectiveconcreteblocks Banks have the foresight that the Government lacks. Instead of a strategic plan to offer support hubs providing information, advice, guidance…there’s probably disdain for doing it ourselves Roisin Gallagher #redressfocusgroups Mica Action Group Paddy Diver Mica Redress MICA MISERY

johnking Mica Action Group Okay that's great, we are on the same page. The Govt took the side of building industry (who's only goal when lobbying was to make as much money as possible)

Govt made a decision to chose the interests of the building industry over citizens getting potential defective buildings

Well done everyone, we support you 👏👏

Blocks made in 2005 should have been subject to en 12620...but they weren't. Why?...

Because the Irish Govt (FF) disregarded a directive from the EU to fully implement en 12620 in 2003-2004... And waited until the good times were well and truly over in 2013

Denis Mc Kenna RTÉ News Mica Action Group Mica Redress each to their own!🤷‍♀️Personally I would be concerned about any of those as rather OTT. Plus in Donegal & NW we have neither trains nor good bus routes so not prepared to give up my car. If you wish to be facetious about the losses for homes in NW & West, won't be on my time.

johnking Mary Teresa Mc Bride National Building Control Office We've had this chat b4 John. The main issue is the period of coexistence. Ireland by your own admission were way too long in removing conflicting national standards. Ireland were compelled to withdraw conflicting standard within 1 to 2 yrs. They were 11 years late with en12620

RTÉ News a good start for govt credibility would be to ensure any home or business affected Mica Action Group Mica Redress would be given the finance to rebuild in #passive form. Otherwise the hypocrisy of govt concern is stark raving obvious.

'Ms Coppinger said: 'It would be very important that Fingal Council and other agencies would assist to find places for families and for people who have been impacted by this.'

Interesting Position!! #micaredress

The images from #Blanchardstown really put into context National Building Control Office describing its resourcing levels as a 'national emergency'

Homes crumbling, apartments going up in smoke

When will Darragh O'Brien take regulation of the construction sector in this country seriously?

johnking Mica Action Group OK so EU just gave Ireland preferential treatment and said batter away for another few election cycles on your own regulations

But let's say EU did OK this. Why would Irish Govt explicitly defer improved building standards. Your argument is they explicitly chose to delay en771-3

johnking Mary Teresa Mc Bride National Building Control Office 11 years period of coexistence? When your document says 1 year I understand there is some wiggle room but from 1 year to 11 years...

Those 11 years happen to be the main period the defective blocks were made.

A wee update on where we're at with the banks

Meeting today with the chairman of the Irish Banking Federation

G'luck 👍

Donegal, the neglected County. If we were in Dublin we'd be given 100% redress.
Here's hoping the banks will finally support us. #micaredress

First bit of sense from John here 👍

Govt chose the interests of the building industry to make money over the interest of average citizens to safe/adequate housing

Denis Mc Kenna RTÉ News Mica Action Group Mica Redress #passive homes have been around decades,look at rest of #Europe or #Nordic countries. People in NW and West who've been hit badly by govt inaction should have practical recompense that benefits everyone.

In simpler terms, you cannot test an old block to a new standard. Blocks made during the Celtic tiger period would have been made to the standards of the time. Paddy Diver Professor Paul Dunlop Geological Survey IE National Building Control Office Ulster University

Jane Grant RTÉ News Mica Action Group Mica Redress It's not very long ago, maybe three or four years ago, the govt wasn't able to house those affected with mica. All of a sudden, crisis in Ukraine and hotels and houses opening up like no tomorrow. You're a racist for saying it, but don't look after their own.

Mica Redress Mica Action Group At the height of the Celtic Tiger the industry would have lobbied hard and there was more interest in money than regulation. Ireland, as a member state may have agreed a different co-existance period as suggested in the Transitional Arrangements.
