100% Redress (Irish: Cúiteamh 100%)[3][4] is an Irish political party registered on 15 September 2023.[5] The group was formed in County Donegal after action groups concerned with excessive mica in bricks, including the Donegal Mica Action Group,[6] proposed to set up a political party to represent homeowners impacted by the Irish defective block crisis.[7]
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.[8][9] 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.[10][11] They backed Catherine Connolly in the 2025 Irish presidential election.[12]
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 with 9.65% of the first preference vote.[13] A party candidate, Charles Ward, contested the 2024 Irish general election.[14] He was elected to represent the Donegal constituency with 8.96% of the first preference vote.[15] In 2024, he joined the Independents and Smaller Parties Technical Group to obtain speaking rights in the 34th Dáil alongside PBP-Solidarity, Green and independent TDs in .[16]
