THE MICA Redress scheme has been slammed by Donegal TDs in the Dáil.
Thousands of Donegal families have been affected by the MICA scandal which has seen houses literally crumble because of faulty building blocks.
At the weekend, over 10,000 people marched to demand a 100 per cent redress scheme.
The cost for many to join the Redress Scheme and to have various reports done on their homes is more than €5,000, which the protests heard many simply do not have.
Deputy Joe McHugh told the Dáil last evening that in 20 years he has ‘never seen an issue which caused so much stress, anxiety and fear.’
He said: “We accepted the scheme at the time on the basis that it may work. The scheme is not working. It won’t work, it can’t work. it’s mot working for so many people.
“The goalposts have completely shifted from this time last yea.r It has to be reviewed immediately and it has to be looked at on the basis of acceptability.”
