Its reported a backlash from builders has led to its decision to postpone the move, originally planned to help pay for mica redress.
The construction industry claims the 10 per cent levy on concrete could delay building homes and will cause house prices to rise.

Minister Charlie McConalogue says government is currently discussing how it’ll be applied, and the levy is still on the table.
