Only 14 homeowners in Donegal have received full payment for remediation works under the defective concrete blocks scheme while none of the applicants from Co. Mayo have yet been fully compensated. 

There have been a total of 1,194 applications for redress under the mica scheme in both counties but only around half of these have completed the first stage of the process, the purpose of which is to confirm eligibility, according to the Department of Housing.
