Tánaiste all but rules out full redress for homeowners impacted by mica

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said the Government will have to control the cost of any mica redress scheme as well as other compensation packages that may come down the line.

The Tánaiste has all but ruled out full redress for homeowners impacted by mica, claiming it would open the floodgates for other groups.

Leo Varadkar has warned that providing a 100% compensation scheme could severely impact on the public finances as other groups, including those living in defective apartments in his own constituency, would expect the same level of support.
