The Chair of Donegal County Council’s Mica Redress Committee says much more must be done to progress a new Defective Blocks Scheme as families face another winter with no resolution in sight.
Cllr Martin McDermott says the council took a decision not to accept any more Stage 1 applications until there is clarification on how to proceed with regards to other materials such as pyrite, pyrrotite and sulphites.
He says department officials seem once again to be dragging their heels, and Minister Darragh O’Brien must do more to speed up the process.
Cllr McDermott says if that doesn’t happen, then there may be a tragedy………
