The group says it appears 'inevitable' that the Mica redress scheme will be extended to other counties.
(Source: Pixabay)An expert group has warned that the Mica problem may be much more widespread than first feared.
Last year a scheme was announced to compensate homeowners in counties Donegal and Mayo affected by defective blocks.
Consideration is being given to extending coverage to Sligo, Clare, Limerick and Tipperary.
However, a report by an expert group to advise the Housing Minister on the scheme is warning that the problem may be far more widespread than feared.
According to the report, it is not clear how many homes in additional counties may be affected.
