Clare Independent T.D. Michael McNamara says the Government has commenced a process of engagement with Clare County Council over the potential extension of the Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme to affected homes in Clare.
The issue was originally raised in the Dáil Éireann last September by Deputy McNamara who said he had been contacted by homeowners of the estimated 35 homes across Clare which have experienced significant cracking of external walls.
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, announced a new defective concrete blocks scheme for Mayo and Donegal in August. The scheme offers five remedial options.

THE government has been urged to put a strategic plan in place to support the development of Shannon Airport and tourism attractions this year.
This issue was raised by Deputy Michael McNamara in the Dáil recently when he reminded An Taoiseach Micheál Martin that he highlighted the Shannon Group, Shannon Airport and their pivotal role for the economic well being of the Mid-West following his elevation six months ago.
Deputy McNamara asked what plan is in place to support aviation and tourism across the Mid-West in 2020.
“What is the plan for Shannon Heritage? The two sites that have opened are closing on January 3. It is planned to open the sites again in April, but Shannon Heritage remains in the Shannon Group with a commercial mandate and the sites ill fit a commercial mandate because while they generate money, they generate money more broadly in the economy than they do within the group itself.
