There has been political disquiet over the concrete levy issue amid conflicting figures about how much it could add to the price of building a home.

It is understood that Dublin TD John Lahart was the first to raise the issue of concrete blocks, telling the meeting of a number of areas where the levy should be reexamined including school buildings, libraries, turnkey projects and other builds.

This is the second week that backbenchers have expressed concern at parliamentary party meetings about the levy. The issue also arose at the Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting on Wednesday, with Tánaiste Leo Varadkar telling his party that the exact details would be worked out by the time the Finance Bill comes before the Dáil on October 20th.
