Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has conceded his proposed plan to give redress to Mica affected homeowners needs further work, following a backlash from residents.

Speaking on Highland Radio on Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after the enhanced redress scheme was announced, Mr O’Brien said: “Is there a bit more work to do on this? I believe so."
