The 100% Redress Party is an Irish political party registered on 15 September 2023.[1] The group was formed after mica action groups, including the Donegal Mica Action Group,[2] proposed to set up a political party to represent homeowners impacted by the Irish defective block crisis.[3] The party's main stated goal is to secure a new redress scheme for defective concrete blocks that covers 100% of the costs of rebuilding homes and buildings affected by defective materials.[4]
Despite a focus on the defective blocks issue, the group has stated that it is not a single-issue party and said that it had developed policies regarding health, housing, tourism, youth emigration and government transparency.[5][6]
The party is registered to contest local and Dáil elections.[7] The party hopes to field candidates in the 2024 local elections in County Donegal and in other counties.[8][9]
