In terms of embodied carbon, it would not be fair to say that Ireland is at the forefront in terms of building regulations. Other European countries have building regulations in this area, such as France and Holland, and, as we heard earlier, many countries are speeding ahead in putting regulations in place. It is probably not true, in terms of embodied carbon, that Ireland is at the forefront. Would it be fair to say that we are actually behind other European countries in that regard?
