State wades in amid fresh row over ‘double standards’ in €3bn mica scheme
Donegal homeowners renew calls for increased funding to allow them to restore their homes to modern standards after learning social houses in the county will be fitted with modern insulation and heating

Donegal homeowners have hit out at the fact that social houses in the county will be fitted with modern insulation and heating, while the government’s grant scheme only gives them enough money to restore their houses to pre-2007 building standards.
