Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme
Not a Designated AreaThe scheme currently covers Donegal, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Sligo and Carlow in full, plus parts of Dublin (Fingal), Wexford and Meath. It may be extended to further counties — suspected block damage anywhere is assessed under I.S. 465 (revised edition published June 2026).

What This Means When Buying in Co. Offaly
- 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.
