Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2025-12-16
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

The charging order under the defective concrete blocks grant scheme for rental properties is required to help ensure remediated properties remain available to rent while remediation works have completed. The addition of a second charging order is to allow designated local authorities to ensure the charged amount matches the total funding provided to homeowners under the grant scheme. As the Bill provides for an increased grant, it may arise that the homeowners receive additional funding over and above the first charged amount. Therefore, this action is necessary for the operation of a second charging order.
