that is affected by the Mica defective blocks issue. |
Over the next few days,
DCC will be liaising with the Department in relation to
the detail. They will also be arranging briefings and
training for their staff and updating the required
processes to enable a streamlined implementation of the
changes. The council ask homeowners to bear with them
for the next few days to allow the above to be carried
out.
DDC will contact homeowners directly in relation to
their own application. This is likely to commence before
the end of this week, in respect of homeowners who are
awaiting recoupment of engineers fees, starting with
those waiting the longest and it is expected to take a
couple of weeks to make contact with everyone.
The Defective Concrete Blocks section of the council’s
website
www.donegalcoco.ie will also be updated accordingly
at the earliest opportunity. |
