My Department has prepared a technical report in connection with the issues raised by the Mica Action Group on the structural problems affecting certain houses in north Donegal which appear to be related to the use of defective blocks in the construction of those homes. This report was prepared following my visit, earlier this year, to a number of the affected homes to view first-hand the damage caused and having regard to copies of test reports, which had been provided by a number of homeowners, made available to my Department in order to provide a more detailed and scientific insight into the problems that have emerged.

In this regard, the technical report is under consideration and I intend to complete my deliberations in this matter shortly. A reply to the correspondence referred to will issue as soon as possible thereafter.
