Clare County Council to hold information night on defective concrete blocks grant scheme

Clare County Council will be hosting an information evening regarding the application process only for those applying for the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme.

This information evening is targeted for people with limited digital resources and/or capabilities.

The Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme provides financial support to people so they can fix properties that have been damaged by the use of defective concrete blocks.

Defective concrete blocks are blocks that have excessive amounts of mica or pyrite. The enhanced scheme is available in Clare, Donegal, Limerick and Mayo.

This scheme commenced in June 2023 replacing the original scheme, which provided a grant for 90% of the work up to a maximum of €247,500, if you had to completely re-build your home and was only available in Donegal and Mayo.

The Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Act 2022 and the related regulations provide the legislative basis for the new enhanced scheme.

The information evening will take place at the Seán Lemass Library, Shannon on Tuesday November 21, from 6.00pm to 8.00pm

It should be noted that spaces are limited, so booking is essential. To book your place, please email [email protected], or phone one of the following numbers:
