Frustrated & confused that I couldn't vote today due to an error with checktheregister-2 ppl in the house have the same name. No issue back in March though?! We aren't the only house where names are handed down! @donegalcouncil @DeptHousingIRL @IrishTimes @DeptJusticeIRL
These images are shocking, even more that they aren't from a war zone but from #DefectiveConcreteCrisis in the northwest of Ireland. #ThePeoplesDocument needs to be implemented ASAP @FineGael @fiannafailparty @greenparty_ie @SocDems @sinnfeinireland @ivanabacik

#DefectiveConcreteCrisis is condemning future generations to social, economic, health, educational deprivation due to homelessness, disability and illness caused and exacerbated by failure of @LeoVaradkar and Co to give #100percentredress as well as immediate risk to life

The #DefectiveConcreteCrisis is #disabilityrights & #independentliving issue. #Article19UNCRPD can't be realised if no housing avail @IrishWheelchair @AnneRabbitte @rodericogorman @HSELive @DisabilityFed @ILMIreland @CDLPGalway @_IHREC @NDAIreland @DisabRightsFund @DisabilityPCN
I live in a home that has defective blocks. I will downsize by 46% - while still paying a mortgage. I will need to borrow €160thou. to rebuild. No accessible accommodation for 🧑🦽. No 💯 redress. At least report the truth. Have some integrity!
#DefectiveConcreteCrisis
Our homes should be a place of respite from the World, not where we are afraid that walls wont withstand the weather events that are only getting worse with #climatechange @EamonRyan @greenparty_ie. The #DefectiveConcreteCrisis is a #climatejustice issue. #ThePeoplesDocument
Children shouldn't have to worry if their home is safe.
This is why we need 100% redress.
To fix these homes.

#DefectiveConcreteCrisis
People with lived experience of #DefectiveConcreteCrisis have proven how unworkable policies by @FineGael @LeoVaradkar @DarraghOBrienTD @fiannafailparty @greenparty_ie @EamonRyan are and done the hard work to come up with solutions. Cop on needed to implement #ThePeoplesDocument

The #DefectiveConcreteCrisis affects everyone in society across the country, exacerbating a housing shortage in already deprived areas for ppl experiencing trauma @SimonCommunity @DisabilityFed @_IHREC @ILMIreland @InclusionIre @feile_housing @flacireland @MLRCLaw @men
The inequality of redress is infuriating, the west/northwest has been deprived of investment for basic infrastructure which exacerbates the #DefectiveConcreteCrisis @_IHREC @LeoVaradkar @rtenews #thepeoplesdocument

The @_IHREC #publicsectorduty requires local authorities to protect #HumanRights and #equality which will be central to #100percentredress for #DefectiveConcreteCrisis
All counties affected with defective blocks should have 100% redress.
We deserve our homes back.

#DefectiveConcreteCrisis
Organisations working on #housing and #homelessness anywhere in Ireland should support #ThePeoplesDocument as the lack of regulation that caused #DefectiveConcreteCrisis continues

#ThePeoplesDocument is based on the lived experience of those affected by #DefectiveConcreteCrisis - families, young people, children, old people, disabled people, people who have lived in their communities all their lives, those returning or newly arriving seeking safe housing

People experiencing the #DefectiveConcreteCrisis have been neglected repeatedly. Whoever takes over from @LeoVaradkar needs to take action to avoid an even bigger crisis spreading throughout the country from lack of regulation of construction materials
Since taking his position as @FineGael leader in 2017 @LeoVaradkar and government have known about #defectiveblocks but the people have been let down over and over again. #ThePeoplesDocument needs to be implemented to protect those affected now and in the future @micaactiongroup
