Mica & Pyrite Scheme Status: Co. Tipperary

Two separate State schemes cover block and sub-floor defects. Co. Tipperary 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 Area

The 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 Area

The 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. Tipperary

  • 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.
