Mica & Pyrite Check — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Ireland is one of the counties most affected by defective concrete blocks containing excess muscovite mica. Thousands of homeowners have reported cracking and structural damage. The Government's Defective Concrete Block Grant Scheme covers remediation costs for affected properties.
A professional assessment under IS 465 (the Irish Standard for testing concrete blocks) can determine if mica or pyrite contamination is present. PropertyPack reports flag whether your property's location and build date place it in a higher-risk category. For homes in Ennis, a pre-purchase structural survey is also recommended.
The Defective Concrete Block Grant Scheme provides funding of up to €420,000 for remediation of eligible homes. Many homeowners in Ireland have applied through Ireland County Council. PropertyPack can help you understand whether your property may be eligible.
