The Curse of Defective Concrete (Mica, Pyrrhotite, etc.) in Donegal homes - Read Mod warning Post 1

@GreeBo - Do not post in this thread again.

Ignoring half the post, gotcha. I'm not being drawn into discussion with you further.

The only way this can be seen as 100% is if the Government tender this work and hold builders to this scale.

I havent seen the scale. Can someone post a source for the 110 and 100 per sq foot figures I have seen mentioned?

EDIT: McConalogue has just spilled about the scale on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=402946034896708)

145 euro for 0-1000 sq ft

110 euro for 1000-2000 sq ft

100 euro for 2000+ sq ft

Pretty steep drop off there on that "scale"

I really dont know how this can be called 100%

This personal responsibility that they're on about ,does that mean them 5 year warranties on new cars won't be honoured?

Will prices drop for everything with this " no comeback, no guarantee",

Will all solicitors cease practising as sure it's everyone's fault for trusting a person,product or service,

Suppose it'll save the HSE a fortune in negligence claims, sure its your own fault for getting sick,

Can you ban him from sending me PMs too?

Nah not abusive. Just whingy, slagging off your moderating and continuing the same rant about how the victims are looking for freebies.

Sorry to repeat, but is that just the effect of the cap and sq ft rate?

Or does storage of property, demo costs, rent etc all go on top?

My house would have a shortfall of €45k according to that, but 18 months of rent would be another €13k at least. No idea what storage and demo costs.

Yeah desperate stuff. 100% of a totally inadequate rate per sq foot. How McConalogue could stand there waving his hands talking absolute bollox just shows what a cretin he is. They dont give 2 sh!tes and have left families to fight it in and out with builders and pay fortunes on top of this "enhanced" scheme. And no mention of costs for demolition, disposal or foundations. Frank McBrearty has outlined his father's case in the Sunday Times last week which he is trying to get into the courts soon due to his father's age. A favourable outcome there could force the government to get serious. This could be the only realistic chance of getting proper redress. What has been announced today is a joke.

13,000 short, that's us out then.

It's clearly become impossible on this thread to express a reasonably argued contrarian point. And there we should leave it. Let there be a general election on the issue I say and let political parties put forward a reasonable scheme that ALL Irish voters can choose to assess and vote on whether they think appropriate. That'll focus minds soon enough.

Is your house going to crumble and collapse in the near future? that's the difference here.

Is someone who smokes constantly not responsible if they get cancer ?

Is someone who drinks heavily not responsible if they destroy their liver ?

Is someone who stuffs themselves with sugar and fat not responsible if obesity produces diabetes etc. ?

My simple mind says 'yes' in all cases .

Think the point went about 50feet over your head,

You completely missed my point, its easy for somewhere in a large county to be larger than the smallest county.

Feel sorry for the poor fella in Drogheda that'll be stuck there, (wouldn't wish that on anyone) while the boyo on primetime complains that the very generous scheme isn't generous enough, the mind boggles.

Grab the money and run, its a phenomenal package, there have to be limits.
