Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Hemp Industry: Discussion
Dr. Frank O'Mara:
To be honest, I do not believe it is the make-or-break issue in respect of hemp. It is really about finding the use for it first. The carbon sequestration benefit of using it for construction material is very much a spin-off or co-benefit. The big challenge is getting it used in construction. That is the thing. We need to get the horse first. The cart will follow. Do Mr. Spink or Mr. Caslin want to add anything to what I have been saying?
