Danny Maloney spent 20 years working in the US, saving money to return to Ireland and build a dream home for his family.

In 1997, years of physical labour in New York paid off and his dream was realised. But now his home and dream are crumbling around him.

The Maloneys’ home is nestled in the 12 O’Clock Hills, near Sixmilebridge, Co Clare. It is one of the worst mica-damaged properties in the county.
