We are the last county to see IS 465 testing. It only happened in spring this year. It seems to be a different beast to the IS 465 testing of homeowners in Donegal and Mayo, and that point must be noted as the structure of this is put together.

I will probe further on the damage threshold of a 1.5 mm crack. On the one hand we can believe it is preparing a hierarchy for some homes to enter the redress scheme more quickly than others. Is there a fear that it will exclude some homes and the local authority, Clare County Council, will come back to some homeowners who may have painted or plastered a crack, or it just cannot be seen, and say there will not be redress for them?
