Episode Synopsis

Clare's opposition TD claims she's angered by the government's lack of action on the defective concrete block crisis. It follows a motion put forward in the Dáil by Donegal TD Charles Ward last week calling for the crisis to be declared a national emergency. Over 1,000 properties in the county are believed to be impacted by the defective mineral pyrite, with the maximum payout under the grant currently capped at €462,000. Shannon Sinn Fein Deputy, Donna McGettigan, says it's 'shameful' to see the government overlook the lived experiences of those living in Pyrite affected homes.
