Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2023
313. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to confirm that applicants to the first defective concrete block remediation scheme on transfer to the revised defective concrete block remediation scheme will be eligible for grant levels based on the most up-to-date SCSI square meter rates. [53449/23]
View answerI can confirm that applications under the previous Defective Concrete Blocks (DCB) Grant scheme will benefit retrospectively from the increased grant amounts and allowances made available under the Enhanced DCB Grant Scheme.
The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) provided updated cost reports for the North West and Midwest Regions in February and April 2023, respectively. The Expert Group reviewed these reports and recommended grant rates for inclusion in the 2023 Regulations which I accepted.
