Defective blocks set to further delay restoration of respite care at Milltown House

The restoration of services at Riverwalk House in Carndonagh has been a long-standing issue for residents and families in the area. However, with recent developments, there is hope that progress may be made soon.

On the other hand, the campaign for services at Milltown House has hit another hurdle with the confirmation of the presence of mica in the blocks. Mica is a type of mineral that can cause cracks and other structural issues when used in building materials. This discovery means that further work will need to be done to ensure the safety of residents and visitors to the facility.

The presence of mica in the blocks at Milltown House was first discovered during a routine inspection by building experts. The experts recommended that the blocks be removed and replaced with safer alternatives, which would require significant time and resources. This delay is likely to further set back the restoration efforts at Milltown House.

It is important to note that the discovery of mica in the blocks at Milltown House does not necessarily mean that the facility is unsafe for residents or visitors. However, it does mean that additional work will need to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of those who use the facility.

The Regional Council has been working closely with building experts and other stakeholders to address the issue at Milltown House. They are currently exploring options for replacing the blocks with safer alternatives and ensuring that the facility is up to code and safe for residents and visitors.

Overall, while there have been some setbacks in the restoration efforts at Milltown House, it is important to remain optimistic about the future of the facility. With continued hard work and dedication from all stakeholders, progress can be made towards restoring services and ensuring that residents and families in the area have access to the care they need.
