Title Foundations of homes built with defective concrete blocks ‘are also crumbling’, researchers say Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Irish Independent Media type Print Duration/Length/Size 1 page Country/Territory Ireland Date 28/04/24 Description Homeowners whose properties are damaged by the defective concrete blocks crisis have accused the Government of withholding vital research showing house foundations were also affected by pyrrhotite — a mineral causing homes to crumble.
It was previously believed house foundations were not affected by the problem. People who availed of the State’s redress scheme to repair homes were expected to leave their house foundations in situ when rebuilding.
The Mica Action Group (MAG), representing many of these homeowners, said the new research now brought this practice into question.Producer/Author Wayne O'Connor URL https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/foundations-of-homes-built-with-defective-concrete-blocks-are-also-crumbling-researchers-say/a235889164.html Persons Paul Dunlop
