Damp bridging

Blowing plaster off inside (since our 1930's bungalow has that shitty limewater mortar or whatever you call it).

That's 2 that have been suggested to me that I can think of. The first has been told to me by more than one person and a builder we have used several times has himself had the plaster blown off his internal walls by a cavity wall installation.
Damp bridging...no not having that...
Not heard of plaster blowing off due to cavity wall insualtion so cant comment, but as ive never heard it before ill go with my own opinion of i cant see it.....
