Fine Gael Donegal Deputy Joe McHugh is set to present a case for increasing the cap on the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme with the Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien this evening.
Deputy McHugh will address the issue during the Topical Issues segment in the Dáil later tonight, advocating for affected homeowners.
Currently, the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme provides financial support for remediation work, capping at a maximum of €420,000.
In recent developments, the Cabinet approved the inclusion of Sligo as an eligible county under the Defective Concrete Blocks (DCB) Scheme last week. This expansion now allows homeowners in Clare, Donegal, Limerick, Mayo, and Sligo to apply for the grant scheme.
