100% Redress [1] [2] is an Irish political party registered on 15 September 2023.[3] The group was formed in County Donegal after mica action groups, including the Donegal Mica Action Group,[4] proposed to set up a political party to represent homeowners impacted by the Irish defective block crisis.[5] 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.[6]
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.[7] [8]
The party, which is registered to contest local and Dáil elections,[9] won four out of the six seats they contested in the 2024 Donegal County Council election with 9.65% of the first preference vote.[10]
A party candidate, Charles Ward, contested the 2024 Irish general election.[11] He was elected to represent the Donegal constituency with 10.1% of the first preference vote.[12]
