The motion to include Sligo in the defective block scheme will be on the order of business in the Dáil next week.
This follows the issue being raised by Sligo-Leitrim TD Marian Harkin on Wednesday in Dublin.
It is hoped that the Dáil will pass the motion and have it put through before the end of the month.
Deputy Harkin says she welcomes the next important step for redress.
