Fighting for the Families Whose Homes Are Failing Until Every One Is Put Right.

I called on the Government to address serious questions surrounding the accountability and oversight of Engineers Ireland. The State cannot simply defer to professional self-regulation where public safety and people’s homes are concerned. There are legitimate concerns about how complaints involving professional engineers are handled, particularly in the context of the defective concrete crisis, where homeowners have experienced significant consequences arising from engineering decisions. 100% Redress Party

This weekend, myself and councillor Ali Farren visited a number of farms in Inishowen adversely impacted by the defective concrete crisis. These are family run businesses that provide employment locally and a boost to the local economy. As it stands, these farming families face a bleak future under the duress of crumbling outbuildings. With no scheme to replace the buildings that house animals, feed and machinery, farmers have been abandoned by government. They worked hard all their lives only to live now in fear and frustration of the future. Forced to remediate farm buildings that they already built and paid for in good faith; they suffer further with the imposition of the concrete levy while the State fail to hold those responsible for this crisis accountable.#irishfarmers #inishowen #ifa #Donegal Irish Farmers Journal Donegal Daily Highland Radio: News, Sport & Obituaries Inishowen Independent Donegal Live
