Donegal councillor makes call over defective concrete blocks

Description

A Donegal County councillor who is facing the prospect of having to demolish and rebuild his home as a result of defective blocks and concrete, has called for the Attorney General here to take action against the Irish Government. 

Cllr Frank McBrearty (Independent) said: “The Attorney general for Northern Ireland should be recommending legal action be taken against the Irish Government for allowing defective blocks and concrete to be sold across the border, from Donegal into the Six Counties.

“Once the Northern Ireland authorities finish a transparent and complete investigation into the failure of manufacturers in the Republic of Ireland to adhere to Irish and EU standards regarding the concrete and concrete products sold into Britain and beyond, the Attorney General needs to determine what legal options can be taken to obtain redress.”
