Housing minister asks Opposition spokespersons for views on mica redress

Protesters during a demonstration in Dublin last June to demand a 100% redress scheme for homes and properties affected by bricks contaminated with mica.

Housing minister Darragh O'Brien has written to Opposition spokespersons asking for their views on the mica redress scheme.

The letter comes a week after a working group report said that the cost of the scheme could rise by €1.8bn to a total of €3.2bn, and just one week before Budget 2022.
