The Government is set to U-turn on the concrete block levy.

The construction industry still has to contribute financially to the mica redress scheme, Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has said.

The scheme was expected to raise €80 million but opponents said the cost of the levy would simply be passed onto buyers and do little to penalise the construction industry., Minister Charlie McConalogue - whose Donegal constituency has the highest number of mica homes in the country - described work on the levy is “ongoing”.

“That was then followed through in relation to Budget Day as part of an overall €11bn budget package in relation to supporting the country to meet the challenges of the months ahead.
