Mica & Pyrite in Co. Meath, Leinster
Meath is designated in part under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme: certain parts of the county only. Buying inside those areas makes defective-block checks essential, and buyers elsewhere in Meath should still confirm a property's status. Meath 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. Meath
- 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.
