Episode Details

14 households in Clare have lodged appeals over the level of compensation granted to them under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme. Under the scheme, homeowners affected by the defective mineral are entitled to receive up to €462,000 to rebuild or repair their property. To date there have been 180 appeals made over the approved payouts, with the vast majority coming from Donegal and just 8% stemming from Clare. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney believes most here are satisfied with the scheme, but that improvements are still needed.
