A GROUP FOCUSED on campaigning for compensation for homeowners impacted by defective building materials is set to be given approval to become a formal political party.
The 100% Redress Party will be allowed to run candidates in local and general elections after receiving the approval of Ireland’s Registrar of Political Parties.
In a statement this morning, the Electoral Commission outlined that the Registrar “has today given notice of his intention to approve an application by the 100% Redress Party to become a registered political party eligible to stand candidates in Ireland’s Dáil and local elections”.
“The decision made by the Chief Executive of An Coimisiún Toghcháin, the Electoral Commission, Mr Art O’Leary, as Ireland’s Registrar of Political Parties, will become effective after a 21-day appeal period, or the outcome of any such appeal,” the statement said.
“The formal notification has today been published in the official Irish State gazette, Iris Oifigiúil.”
The party has been contacted for comment.
The government outlined plans in 2021 for a redress scheme targeted at the cost of rebuilding homes affected by mica and pyrite.
However, campaigners have argued that the scheme falls short of adequately covering the costs facing impacted homeowners.

It’s easy to paint them all with the same brush at times. This is a great initiative that reminds us that were all individuals and there are good and bad in every culture. There’s a lot to be celebrated in the travelling community.
Fair play to them all. And apart from individual achievements, it’s great to see them all show pride in their culture.
To be honest, traveller or not, she is an average singer. Fair play to her for giving it a go, but she is not going to replace Whitney Houston any time soon.
Where did it take place ? Was it in the Traveller’s friend Castlebar ?
@Gary donoghue: no
Some really sad bitter people here. Girl sets up an initiative to help combat suicide and she is belittled and put down by her fellow Irish. You should all be ashamed of your judgemental comments. She doesn’t deserve the nastiness.
She’s a cute mom with her kids. Seems genuine and friendly. Fair play to her!
Say what you want, she’s a great singer.
@Gerry Quinn: most would disagree. Look at the results before you disagree

@Gary donoghue: yes
Well done to anyone, of any culture, who works hard and tries to achieve something
Fair play to her
Alot of stereotyping here. What’s new? We are Irish after all, nothing new. Keep slating them. You’re all perfect, tarnish with same brush eh
@Nicholas O’Halloran: lol, did you mean to stereotype the Irish in that comment?
Not all travellers are the same person. If someone from the traveller community does something good and earnest then it shouldn’t be dismissed because you’re angry at other people in their community. Too many bitter privelleged people in this country who are ignorant to anything except their own hateful distaste for others
Interesting article on the nature of pride in general…
Completely applaud her actions on mental health!
