The Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks in Construction (Remediation) (Financial Assistance) Regulations 2020 came in to operation on 31 January 2020 and the resulting Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme has only been open for applications since the end of June last year.

A total of 352 stage one confirmation of eligibility applications have been received by Donegal County Council, of which 183 have been approved to date. Following confirmation of eligibility there is an inevitable time lag before stage 2 applications are submitted by applicants as remedial works plans are developed and estimates from contractors are secured. 31 applications for stage 2 grant approval have been received by Donegal County Council, of which 9 have been approved.
