100% Redress

100% Redress 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]

The party is registered to contest local and Dáil elections.[7]

The party contested the 2024 Donegal County Council election winning four seats out of the six they contested.[8]
