Maeve Dunne's appeal highlighted the struggles of homeowners in Kilmore Quay facing insurance issues due to the perceived risks of thatch roofs, as her natural slate roof was initially rejected by the council.
Planning consultant Glen Campbell pointed out that insurance companies are not providing policies for thatched properties, causing significant problems for homeowners, particularly given the high number of uninsured thatch cottage owners.
Dunne's situation underscores broader concerns about the insurance industry’s policies regarding thatched roofs, prompting her to call for government investigation to better regulate insurance practices impacting property owners.
