MICA Action Group (MAG) has welcomed the announcement that an expert group will be set up shortly to investigate problems that have emerged in the concrete blockwork of scores of dwellings in Donegal and Mayo.
The expert group is similar to that formed to investigate the pyrite issue in Leinster.
MAG – which already has 250 homeowners registered – is now calling on all homeowners in Donegal who think they may be affected by the defective blocks issue to register as soon as possible.
Joint secretary Ann Owens said: “Whilst MAG has been calling on the Government for more than 18 months to set up this expert panel, this is a huge step forward with a definite commitment from Minister Coffey and Minister Joe McHugh and a timeline put in place for the process.
“The selection of the chair is underway and the remit of the panel is to establish, the number of affected dwellings in Donegal and Mayo, the root cause of the problems and the technical solutions for remediation.”
