61. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if there is a scheme that will allow householders to raise the 10% matching funding for the MICA support scheme to enable them to avail of the scheme given that many householders cannot raise the required funding on their own; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There is no scheme or grant aid available from my Department to cover the cost of the 10% homeowner contribution which applies under the Defective Concrete Blocks Grant scheme.  Under the Defective Concrete Blocks grant scheme my Department provides funding to cover 90% of the costs of eligible homeowners subject to the funding caps in place. These funding caps are determined by the remediation option being undertaken.
