THE Mica Action Group is holding an information evening tonight to discuss the newly implemented enhanced defective concrete block scheme.
In response to a number of affected homeowners seeking information and clarity on how the revised Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme works, the Mica Action Group (MAG) is holding an information evening on Monday at 7pm in the An Grianan Hotel, Burt.
Lisa Hone, Chair of MAG said the meeting has been called after the group recieved many enquiries from people who are feeling ‘overwhelmed’.
“We have been contacted by homeowners who have not yet applied to the scheme feeling overwhelmed not knowing where to start and from people already in the scheme wondering about the next steps.
“The Information Evening is an opportunity to allow those affected to come together after the publication of the scheme earlier this month.
“We are keenly aware of the many issues that still persist with the revised scheme, and they were very clearly laid out by ourselves and other counties’ action group reps at the Housing Committee meeting on July 13.
“We will make a short presentation to give an overview and then are happy to take questions from affected homeowners.
“We cannot promise to have the answer to every question, but we have been pursuing the latest information from Donegal County Council, the Department of Housing and the Housing Agency to be able to provide as much clarity as possible.
“We hope that the evening will be useful and informative. All affected homeowners are welcome whether you are a member of MAG or not,” said Ms Hone.
