Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2026
400. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if can provide an update on the inclusion of homes in Skerries and Rush in the defective blocks scheme; the timeline for the application process; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13612/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Act 2022 which underpins the enhanced Defective Concrete Block (DCB) Scheme was commenced in June 2023.
The Scheme is currently open to applications in five counties, namely Clare, Donegal, Limerick, Mayo and Sligo.
On the basis of the recommendations made by the Housing Agency in their final report to me, I intend to shortly bring the matter to Government seeking approval for the making of an Order designating the relevant parts of Fingal County Council as being part of the DCB Scheme.
