Government has locked thousands of homeowners with defective blocks out of the redress scheme, and have done nothing to pursue the wrongdoers - the block manufacturers. They were told 3 years ago to pursue the block manufactures, and the Tánaiste today failed to answer why this hasn't happened. Families deserve 100% redress, no less! #defectiveblocks #housing #100percentredress | Pearse Doherty

Childcare facilities in Donegal continue to crumble because of defective block while this government watches on. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael must stop treating the people of Donegal as second-class citizens and urgently put in place a scheme to repair these buildings. Families need and deserve better.
