About Dublin
Mica & Pyrite in Co. Dublin
Dublin is designated in part under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme: parts of Fingal only, Rush, Skerries, Lusk and Ballyboughal. Buying inside those areas makes defective-block checks essential, and buyers elsewhere in Dublin should still confirm a property's status. Dublin also falls within the Pyrite Remediation Scheme area, which covers pyritic-heave damage in homes built 1997–2013. Every PropertyPack report includes the official designation status for any Eircode, with I.S. 465 assessment guidance.

What This Means When Buying in Co. Dublin
- Suspected defective-block homes are assessed under I.S. 465 (revised edition published June 2026) by a registered building professional. Cracking patterns in external walls are the classic sign.
- A remediated home should come with paperwork: a Letter of Assurance under the DCB scheme, or a Certificate of Remediation under the pyrite scheme. Ask for it.
- DCB grants carry a clawback on resale within a set period, and the pyrite scheme excludes buyers who purchased after December 2013 knowing of the damage. An unremediated home may have no State remediation route after the scheme closes.
