There was no shortage of that. Also, smooth render is not recommended for areas with high driving rain index, such as the northern and western coastal counties of Donegal and Mayo.Who were the builders who installed the blocks.
Home owners got the local lads to do the work for cash ?

There's a huge lack of understanding, one engineer is getting petrographic analyses done on and writing off houses if the report contains the word mica. He hasn't a clue what he's doing, but it then means that the homeowners can't get insurance. If you did the same analysis on most houses in Wicklow, Cork, Kerry, Galway, Wexford, Kilkenny, Down and Louth, you'd find mica. Their houses are not falling down, but apparently mica is still the issue. And the taxpayer is on the hook for it. It's horseshit.
You really cant trust people from the border counties..theres like an inherent dishonesty in them.

From what Ive read their legal team have argued that the national standards for blocks wasn't good enough.
Why the state admitted liability is baffling
This has the potential to leave the state on the hook for untold billions.
They used the wrong blocks in many cases. The same quarry supplied builders across the border, but there were no issues in the north. I can tell you now that the border does not magically remove mica, so there must another explanation.Interesting.

I got price increase notices this week for 15% average increase across the board. There is no sign of this even leveling out.This is a combination of labour shortage and record high material costs. He's leaving it off until prices come down.
