Inishowen News: Huge rise in calls after RTE airs ‘Bad Blocks’

A Prime Time investigation into “crumbling” houses in Donegal has led to a “huge increase” in the number of homeowners coming forward with fears their properties may be affected.

Mica chairman Phil McDaid said: “In the two weeks since the programme aired, the number of homeowners making contact indicating they believe they are also affected, has increased by approximately 25% to around 350.
