The State's mica and pyrite redress scheme is set to be expanded shortly.
Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien told RTÉ's News at One that he plans to add further areas to the scheme in the coming weeks.
"The scheme is taking hold across the affected region, not just in Donegal but in Mayo, and I expect to expand the scheme very shortly to three further counties."
"I'm looking at Sligo. There's a small number of homes in Fingal and there are individual homes in some other counties," the minister said.

The Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Grant Scheme at its outset applied to homeowners in Donegal and Mayo, but was later widened to include houses in Limerick and Clare.
It provides financial support to fix properties that have been damaged by the use of defective concrete blocks.
The Minister also defended the scheme against charges of excessive red tape saying impacted homes are now getting remediated.
