Mica campaigners in Donegal are believed to be in discussions to form a new political party to contest the next local elections in the county.
The move comes as the proposed redress scheme did not meet expectations, with a cap per square footage that is set to be reviewed in February.
Mica redress campaigner Paddy Diver has been quoted as saying that the group are considering running candidates and has not ruled out the possibility of putting his own name forward for the council elections.
He says that potential candidates would also be including other items on their respective manifestos. Mr Diver says Donegal has been forgotten about for too long and claims there is little or no infrastructure in place for the youth of the County.
The move would send a warning shot to the Government, with Sitting Councillors and even TD’s fearing for their seats as a result of the fallout from the defective block scandal.
