The Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the use of Defective Concrete Blocks Act 2022 as amended by the Act of 2025 underpins the Grant Scheme which provides grant funding to people with homes affected by defective concrete blocks.
General statistics relating to the Defective Concrete Blocks (DCB) Scheme can be found on my Department's website at the following link:
www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/collections/statistics-for-defective-concrete-block-scheme/
Local authorities have responsibility for the administration of the Scheme. This includes the initial validation of applications, notifying homeowners of the Housing Agency's determinations on damage threshold, the appropriate remediation option and grant amount, determination of the grant payable for alternative accommodation and storage costs and immediate repair works and the subsequent payment of grants to successful applicants.
Statistics relating to your request are not held by my Department and queries of this nature should be directed to the relevant designated local authority.
