The Self-Sabotaging “Landmark Motion” on Defective Concrete 🪶What It Really Delivers

Enda Craig ⬟ This motion hands the Government a golden opportunity to overwrite Deputy Ward’s original wording with a carefully crafted narrative that casts the redress scheme in glowing, international PR-friendly terms.

In doing so, the Government sidesteps accountability and emerges from this political wreckage smelling of roses.

Meanwhile, unaffected homeowners are fed a polished version of events, portraying Donegal residents as ungrateful recipients of generous compensation.

The Government’s amendment will be tabled first, and with the numbers behind it, it will pass—effectively burying Deputy Ward’s motion without a vote, without a trace.

The official Dáil record will reflect only the triumphant Government amendment, while the original motion vanishes into procedural oblivion.

No matter how it's spun, this strategy lacks coherence, credibility, and critical thinking.
