Taoiseach to listen to concerns amid fears concrete levy will make housing crisis worse

Organisations representing builders have said the levy could increase the cost of a new home by up to €3,000, if not more

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he will listen to the concerns people have over the concrete levy and said it would be looked at again.

It comes as Sinn Fein has announced a motion to scrap what they have called the Government’s “flawed concrete block levy plan.”
