My father and mothers home is effected , the conditions they live in is awful and the toll it has taken on them . My father worked endless hours to build us a new home in 2013 and this is the result . Testing done and paid for in 2020 , full demolition recommended yet almost 3 yrs on we are no further on . It’s an utter disgrace that it’s been let to go on this long and people remain in those states some with young children . DO THE RIGHT THING AND SOLVE MATTERS NOW 100% FOR ALL

My family, friends, neighbours and community are being negatively affected by government failure to do the right thing in supporting families decimated by mica and faulty building materials. Enough is enough - support your citizens - get through this situation fuelled by light touch quarry regulation . 100percentredress now for all affected families

Maximum support is necessary to prevent further unnecessary suffering.

I’m an affected homeowner

Orlaith McNamee (Gleneely, 2022-12-01)

#243

I have a house in Culdaff with mica. Because it is not a primary residence I am not eligible for consideration under the redress scheme... and quite rightly since those in primary residence are a higher priority. But as it stands, I may never see a redress scheme for my circumstance

Maeve OGorman (Newtownabbey, 2022-12-01)

#244

I am signing this petition so this scandal does not happen again. No quarry has been closed, no quarry audit published and no regulatory change made. The system is broken and we need a public inquiry to investigate.

Mary Teresa McBride (Donegal, 2022-12-01)

Peter Curran (Letterkenny, 2022-12-01)

#261

Abandoned by government and local authorities, the victims of this scandal, at a bare minimum deserve a public enquiry into the background to this disaster.

Peter Walsh (Letterkenny, 2022-12-01)

#262

The current scheme is flawed and doesn't provide a solution for the sulphide minerals in the Defective blocks. Also, the Govt have questions to answer in relation to how they let this happen and how the ignored the homeowners for over a decade when the scale of the problem could have been minimised. Quarries responsible have been allowed to continue operating to this day without inspection or regulation. Pure and utter incompetence and systemic corruption has allowed this to happen and it must be thoroughly sorted for once and for all.

Kevin Connolly (Donegal, 2022-12-02)

I live in my partner's property who has defective blocks and deleterious materials in his home and the property has been recommended for full demolition. Our government are refusing to listen or look after us

Angela Byrne (Donegal, 2022-12-02)

We are one of the thousands of families affiliated by the Mica, Pyrrhotite, Pyrite disaster who are trying to get the government and Donegal County Council to do what they grossly overpaid for while trying to wade through their so called ‘schemes’ without losing our sanity.

Pat Kelly (Buncrana, 2022-12-02)

Because it's cruelty what the mica families are going through.

My house has pyrite, we need the government to take accountability for their lack of governance and give the people 100 redress to allow us to rebuild our lives.

Eilish O'Boyle (Mayo, 2022-12-08)

Patricia Devlin (Clonmany, 2023-01-24)

#343

I am a homeowner whose house needs to be demolished due to defective blocks. The treatment by the Irish Government towards Donegal Mica homeowners has been disgraceful. The discrimination and disregard shown to us has made this terrible crisis almost unbearable. The Irish Government has only added to the heartache and pain with its media spin and propaganda. An independent inquiry is essential.

Denise Grant (Donegal, 2023-01-24)

I'm signing this petition because I know many families & friends affected by this, and the way it has affected the people financially, and their mental health. Unsafe homes are a danger, and the government need pay up now in full so homes can be rebuilt or put right.
