Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
It's claimed Pyrite affected homeowners in Clare are bleeding money at every stage of the rebuild process due to compensation shortfalls. Under the Enhanced Defective Blocks scheme, remuneration is capped at €462,000 , while foundation works are not currently covered. Clare County Council estimates that 620 private residences and 240 social homes here are affected by the defective mineral. Speaking in the Oireachtas Housing Committee, Dr Martina Cleary of the Clare Pyrite Action Group says urgent amendments are needed.
