A DONEGAL schoolgirl is to tell her heartbreaking story of how MICA has impacted her young life on tonight’s Late Late Show.

Back in May Donegal Daily revealed how 9 year old Aoife McLaughlin from Carndonagh was terrified of being left homeless.

She was so scared that she wrote a letter to An Taoiseach pleading with him to help.

Thousands of homes, including that of the ‘Frazer’ McLaughlins at Gortnacool, Carndonagh, are cracking and crumbling due to faulty building blocks.

Aoife, a pupil at St Patrick’s Girls NS in Carndonagh, has written a moving letter, which she has sent to Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien.

“Our house has mica and is crumbling down,” Aoife wrote.

“We need to get it fixed. We need your help to fix it because Mammy and Daddy can’t afford it. We have to leave our home and I don’t want to. Please can you help us.”

Now, following today’s march through Dublin by more than 20,000 people, Aoife will speak to the nation about how MICA has already destroyed so many lives.

She will tell her heartbreaking story to RTE host Ryan Tubridy on tonight’s Late Late Show.
