A revised mica redress scheme will come to Cabinet in the next two weeks, with the State having a moral obligation to act, the Housing Minister says.

Darragh O'Brien said he had told redress campaigners that a revised version of the scheme would not be ready before last week's protest outside the Dáil, but said one would be available soon.
