The government's set to outline an updated defective building block scheme in the coming weeks
A Fine Gael TD says there should be a full public inquiry to finding out who is culpable for the the use of defective mica blocks.
Joe McHugh says a state redress scheme should extend to all homes with blocks damaged by mica -- no matter how large they are.
