Over the last few weeks on Lunchtime Live, Andrea Gilligan has been speaking with homeowners impacted by Pyrite and Mica in their homes.

 

In May, thousands of homeowners in Donegal and Mayo came out to protest the Government redress scheme for people affected by defective building blocks.

Noel who is from Donegal and a part of the Mica Action Group spoke to Andrea about when he realised his house had mica in it.

Loren Devers a member who set up the North Mayo pyrite Group spoke about the protest this weekend and Eileen Doherty, an affected homeowner and campaigner in Donegal.
