Construction Solicitor Limerick

Building disputes, defects claims and payment recovery for clients in Limerick — Mary Molloy Solicitors, established 1981.

Limerick carries a double construction caseload: the ordinary disputes of a growing city and county - renovations, new builds, payment chains - and membership of the defective concrete blocks scheme, with Limerick City and County Council among the five designated authorities administering the State's largest remediation programme.

Construction Law in Limerick

Limerick disputes run through the Limerick Circuit Court sittings, with Limerick City and County Council administering both building control and, since the county's designation, the DCB Grant Scheme locally. The 2025 Amendment Act's commencement in February 2026 - increased grants for capped owners, the doubled 130-week works window - lands directly on Limerick applicants.

Our Limerick blocks work spans the scheme lifecycle: first applications and threshold assessments, remediation-option disputes, the new increased-grant pathway, challenges to flawed determinations, and the conveyancing of affected homes mid-scheme. Alongside it, the county's ordinary files - city renovation disputes, commuter-belt new builds, and subcontractor payment recovery through adjudication - get the same expert-evidence-first treatment as everywhere else.

Mary Molloy Solicitors are solicitors, not engineers, architects or building surveyors. Nothing on this page is a technical assessment of any property or works. Defects claims stand or fall on independent expert evidence — a chartered engineer’s or building surveyor’s report — obtained early. Scheme rules, grant rates and legislation in this area change frequently; confirm the current position before making any decision.
