We have debunked the misinformation being shared. This crisis was caused by light touch regulation, lack of enforcement & has been extended due to gov after gov's lack of urgency to help its own people. Homeowners are innocent victims, enough is enough

Meanwhile homes continue to deteriorate. Ministers have sought to create division through misinformation about the differences in our homes and the rest of Ireland. The only difference is our homes are falling apart.
