A protest will take place next week over the defective building blocks controversy which is affecting thousands of homes in Donegal.
Many homeowners have been told that their houses are worthless or must be demolished because of the mica material used in their construction.
It is estimated that up to 4,000 properties in Donegal could be affected.
The homeowners have been campaigning for years for compensation.
The protest about the issue will be held in Buncrana on May 22.
Speaking at Tuesday s emergency Donegal County Council Mica Redress Committee Meeting, Councillor Frank McBrearty (Independent) reiterated his call for a Mica Public Inquiry.
