Deputy Tom Fleming talked about blocks, Roadstone has produced a block that is very efficient.

Ms O’Neill mentions cars and agriculture in her submission. The transport sector has saved 25% because the manufacturers in other countries brought in diesel vehicles that are more efficient. In agriculture the emissions are going to increase. If Ms O'Neill had to decide in the morning between people being employed or living in a tent and keeping everything beautiful and green, which would she do? Would she decide that employment is more important or that we have to meet the targets?
