Takeover of Shannon Heritage
The Government appears to be no closer to a decision on the proposed transfer of Shannon Heritage sites to Clare County Council and it doesn’t appear to be a priority.
Pursuing quarry operators
Quarries that made huge profits from selling defective concrete blocks will be let off the hook by the Government today. A law will be rammed through by Government party TDs transferring the remedial cost to taxpayers, without even considering amendments that will ensure those quarries that provided defective blocks are pursued.
Remediation of Dwellings Damaged By the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill
The priorities are, firstly, that crumbling homes are fully remedied and, secondly, that taxpayers are not be left footing all the cost. This Government Bill does neither. It should ensure those who made defective concrete blocks for profit are legally pursued.
