The mica issue

[Coach and Six]

That's a silly question. Unregulated banking won't cause your house to fall apart and be unliveable in.

According to rte the estimated average cost of rebuilding homes is 485k, is every house in donegal like south fork?
These people need to be looked after but surely government have to protect the tax payer by ensuring no over the top payments are made, this isnt government money this is tax payers money, it has been pointed out that none of the opposition parties have factored in paying for mica in their alternative budget,

According to Daft.ie the average asking price of a home in Donegal is
€170k, so I doubt it costs three times that to build one. This will have to be properly regulated and monitored as there will certainly be someone trying to make a quick buck at the taxpayer's expense.

Public opinion seems to be sympathetic to the householders how could you not be?
But many are unhappy with the idea of taxpayers carrying the can , people are also wondering how 350k isnt enough to cover rebuild in majority of cases,

Will this turn into the new Children's Hospital? Spiraling costs

This needs to be strictly budgeted from Day 1

Yes, this is wide open for some to make a profit on this,

I have no problem with developers making a profit but on this occasion it should be cost-built/sold

There wont be a builder left in Cork when they start building rebuilding Donegal
