About Limerick
Mica & Pyrite in Co. Limerick
Limerick is designated in full under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme, which is remediating thousands of mica-damaged homes across the designated counties. That makes defective-block checks critically important for Limerick property buyers. Every PropertyPack report includes the county's official scheme designation status, what it means for a purchase in Limerick City, Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale or the wider county, and I.S. 465 assessment guidance.

What This Means When Buying in Co. Limerick
- 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.
