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