Do you qualify for the Grant?

You may be eligible to apply for a grant to your local authority if you meet the criteria set out in the Terms and Conditions for the scheme.

Before applying for a grant, you must ensure that you have evidence of a requirement to replace lead pipes and related fittings with the application to your relevant local authority.

In order to qualify for the grant, you must occupy the house concerned as your normal place of residence. If you rent the property, you must have the owner’s permission to get the work done.

For the purposes of this grant scheme, the property must be a domestic residence. Private holiday homes and properties operated on a commercial basis are excluded (e.g. short-term holiday lettings, self-catering properties, caravans/mobile homes, caravan/mobile home sites). Properties owned by local authorities, housing associations and the Health Service Executive (HSE) are not eligible.

To see if your household is eligible please read the Domestic Lead Remediation Grant Terms & Conditions leaflet and Frequently asked questions.
