Harkin, speaking at Mica protest and in Dail, says Sligo must be included in Mica redress scheme

Independent Deputy Marian Harkin says the main focus of the current Mica campaign seems to be on Donegal, Mayo and Clare.

And she fears houses in other counties may also have been built using blocks with the mineral Mica.

Also speaking at the protest, Donegal TD and Sinn Fein finance spokesman Pearse Doherty says the government must act.

He said affected homeowners will accept nothing less than 100% redress.
