NI finance minister says legal action taken over unpaid rates will also be paused.

Land and Property Services will not issue rates bills to owners of the defective Victoria Square apartments this year, Stormont's finance minister has said.

"All of us recognise the unfairness that there seems to be and we are working with LPS to find a way forward." Multiple sources have indicated to the BBC that they can be repaired but it is not clear who would be responsible for the cost. A statement through the company's solicitor said the costs incurred in relation to maintaining the building were "essential".
