Mica & Pyrite Scheme Status: Co. Roscommon
Two separate State schemes cover block and sub-floor defects. Co. Roscommon is not currently a designated area under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme. The Pyrite Remediation Scheme for pyritic-heave damage does not cover the county.
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).
Pyrite Remediation Scheme
Not a Scheme AreaThe scheme covers pyritic heave — floor and slab movement from reactive pyrite in sub-floor hardcore — in the Dublin local authorities, Kildare, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath and Limerick, for homes built 1997–2013. It closes to applications on 30 November 2026.
What This Means When Buying in Co. Roscommon
- 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.
