Fears Further Challenges Await Clare Pyrite Affected Homeowners

It's feared further challenges await Clare homeowners affected by pyrite in light of the redress scheme announcement. Minister Darragh O'Brien signed off on regulations yesterday enabling pyrite homeowners to apply for redress in order to repair of demolish and rebuild their homes. Under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme, 100% of remediation work can be covered up to a value of €420,000. Clare Pyrite Action Group Vice-Chair Mary Hanley believes difficulties lie ahead for affected homeowners in terms of seeking alternative accommodation while works are being carried out.
