@micaactiongroup Hi, have MAG had any correspondence from DCC since the emergency meeting on Wednesday regarding the hold up in transferring applications categorised 1,2 & 3? Have they said how many in each category?

@lisarod49068728 Not sure what descriptions? We are cat 3, just curious as to how many are in same group and how many are in each group 1 & 2.

@gallt1 You know by the descriptions in info sent

May 23 it's September 2023 and the category 1s are awaiting responses for over a month

@fiannafailparty If you are, just make sure the concrete products don’t contain deleterious materials.

Are you a First Time Buyer? Do you know about all of the schemes you can apply for? Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien TD explains how you can avail of up to €100k in support from the state. #housingforall

@DarraghOBrienTD Concrete products all tested for deleterious materials then? Did you ask the question? Interested just that’s all.

2️⃣6️⃣1️⃣ 🏘️🏘️🏘️ Today in #Limerick I had the pleasure of officially opening 261 new homes. 261 families & individuals who have a safe & secure home for life. #HousingforAll

Is it? No one has been told it is going ahead for sure. Radio silence from the government. A scheme that no one knows the final details of. From what we had seen, its still not going to be workable for a heck of a lot of people.

@robertburns73 @DarraghOBrienTD @Fingalcoco Was the concrete tested for deleterious materials? Wouldn’t be very sustainable if it all needs pulled down in 20 years time.

Work progressing well with foundations recently poured at @Fingalcoco Hayestown, Rush Affordable Housing Scheme. First of the 52 homes will be completed in first half of 2024. Application portal is open to purchase the affordable homes. #FingalHousing

@engineers_feed Hammer + saw = 10kg (Bag +hammer) + (bag+saw) 24kg + 20kg = 44kg = (2bags,hammer &saw) 44 - 10 = 34kg (2 bags) 1 bag = 17kg + hammer & saw = 27kg

We have to get the same answer here guys 👇🏽

@niall_blaney Very good, would be great to have that route upgraded. What about the enhanced redress scheme? Will it be enacted any time soon?

Today I addressed the immediate need to upgrade the A5 Road in Co. Tyrone following a series of further tragedies. This route, a main artery from Dublin to Derry, is grossly outdated with many treacherous black spots. It holds back the development of the whole Northwest region.

@niall_blaney @McConalogue @daracalleary @lichamber Any update on the enhanced defective block scheme Niall?

I was delighted to accompany @McConalogue, @daracalleary and @lichamber at a public meeting on rural Ireland in Ballina, Co. Mayo yesterday evening. A great night of engagement on many issues such as housing, farming and sustaining rural Ireland. #ruralIreland

@niall_blaney Is the enhanced mica scheme still on track for end of April Niall?

Delighted for the opportunity to chair the Commencement Matters today #SeanadEireann

“I am begging you. Begging you, at this stage. For God’s sake. How can we allow dozens of families, right now, to live in homes that are not fit for human habitation? How many weeks do I have to come in to this chamber and beg Ministers to intervene?”

This video of @niall_blaney in the Seanad undermining scientific intervention was shared at the end of a week when an international science team visited the devastation defective concrete is causing in Donegal.Happy to meet up & explain why science is key m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzLF1b…

If science was used 10 years ago to investigate we would have found the reason why homes are falling apart, & if the Government had enforced EN 12620 to ensure aggregates were tested for sulphur this wouldn't have happened at all in Donegal. Science is key irishtimes.com/environment/20…

And finally, our science team has not been idle regarding testing foundations. As we speak, our samples are being analysed in world-class research facilities by Dr Andreas Leemann @Empa_CH, Prof Benoit Fournier @universitelaval & Nick Scaglione, Concrete Research & Testing, USA👇

This was such an important international conference. It really highlighted the need for urgent Government action to help families trapped in unsafe homes & the importance of science for understanding the causes of this avoidable crisis. @EDoherty_tweets @mondello25 & @lukeming
