Where are all the planners, builders, archetichs etc that were involved in these builds, why is their insurance not covering these people, in some way or another these individuals/companys cleared/certified each stage of these builds.

They can trace where you where yesterday but they can't trace building materials to their owners.

Areany of these developers builders etc assountable for this. Surely the taxpayer shouldn't have to carry all the can for this. But knowing ff and fg their friends will be looked after while the rest of us cough up at expense of mental health service disability etc

This is the fault of the state. We have go through extensive checks by the state when building houses, they make us build to exacting standards.. They let mica onto the market...

Again the public purse foots the bill for another scandal that no one is being held accountable for.

I’m not seeing the suppliers of these bricks/ blocks being held accountable and I thought all builders had to have a 30 year bond. A lot of these are private builds

How many billions did the (w)bankers cost the state and they are still being bailed out!! No brainer here to help those affected.

So did that mean owners of apartments that were built with faults - fire prevention non existent and water/ flooding problems will get assistance too? The construction companies folded and left their responsibilities behind

Can I see MICA tax soon on my payslip?
