I mean we’re going to have to pay for this mica bullshit one way or another. If it’s not this it will be some other tax.
Does anyone else not feel like this was a Gimme?
Propose something so unfair as a solution and we all say no. The government rolls back and says they listened. Then say after they tried to do something but the people spoke and then never addresses the real problem again.
Time the fuck the D and B taxpayer instead.
The reality is that we will all be paying it, and it is what it is. It will be paid over a long period anyway, so it is more than manageable and fair. What I want to see, though is, Government to come out and say, we let down these homeowners by not stepping in and inspecting the concrete industry when we knew this had been going on for a long time. From today on we have done this and this and this and homeowners can rest assured that this will never happen again, whether it is Mica, Pyrite or shoddy apartments or whatever and those that knowingly contributed to it will be brought before the courts.
I dropped my td’s an email on this and all they came back with was waffle and rationalisations. Fucking idiots don’t realise that the people paying this are the first time buyers
The local councils impacted should be paying this by upping LPT, theres no other way.
Suck it Eamo
You got thrown under the bus again.
Good. It was a fucking moronic policy *especially* during a housing crisis.
So many of the dodgy engineers, architects, fire official’s, building firms involved in the shoddy construction, evaluation and certification of dodgy apartments/houses in the past are still working in the industry. Mostly under different company names because their previous outputs were wound up under Nama.
At the very least they should all be named and shamed and potential criminal charges brought against them.
If I had my way, a firing squad would be involved……. But sadly that’s not going to happen.
Regarding a blanket concrete levy, it’s unfair to punish the many for the sins of the few. The vast majority of units built were of adequate standards. Although looking at how the situation is portrayed in the news one would think that they were all death traps.
Ultimately, the remediation funds are going to have to come from government.
If they can find billions to help refugees and economic migrants, they can find millions to help their own people fix these problems.
