Although fewer than 100 people in Donegal have made applications to the Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme, Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien does not think upfront testing costs are to blame.
Donegal Live has learned that estimates for testing can range from €4,000 to €5,000 plus VAT and engineers’ fees can approach €2,000, both of which have to be paid before householders can submit an application to the Donegal County Council headed Mica Redress Scheme.
