A community playgroup in Raphoe in Co Donegal is facing closure because of defective concrete blocks.
The cracks in the walls of the Raphoe Community Playgroup building have been growing at a concerning rate in recent weeks and the engineer who has been monitoring the building since the problem was confirmed 18 months ago has said the group will have to close its doors when it breaks for the summer in June.
Colin Kilpatrick, who has four sons, said he does not want his youngest boy, who is due to start in September, to lose out on the great education his brothers have benefited from. He said this is about the future of children and the Government should not deny them that future. She said she worries when her daughter goes into the playgroup and it saddens her that she now talks about cracks in the walls rather than the great things she has done or created during her day.
