The Pyrite Resolution Act 2013 provides the statutory framework for the establishment of the Pyrite Resolution Board and for the making of the Pyrite Remediation Scheme.

The Scheme was established to remediate dwellings damaged as a result of pyritic heave caused by the swelling of hardcore underneath ground bearing floor slabs.

A dwelling to be considered eligible under the Scheme must have a significant level of damage which is explained in section 3.3 of the PRS document as a dwelling that achieves a Damage Condition Rating of 2, defined in Irish Standard I.S. 398-1:2017 Part 1.

The full eligibility conditions of the Pyrite Remediation Scheme are set out in the Pyrite Remediation Scheme document which can be found in the Quicks Links section of the Pyrite Resolution Board’s website.

Owners of dwellings located within the counties of Kildare, Meath, West Meath and Offaly or the administrative areas of Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, South Dublin or Limerick City and County Council, can make an application for inclusion in the Pyrite Remediation Scheme which will be considered under the eligibility requirements of the Scheme. The Scheme remains open to new applications.
