It is a fascinating aspect of what we are talking about. We were discussing last night, even at the planning stage, having to look at the carbon impact of what is constructed. Deputy Ó Broin covered many of the questions I was going to ask. That definitely incentivises technological advancements as well. The methodology Deputy Ó Broin was talking about of off-site construction has other advantages aside from the lack of waste. One gets perfect fitting, draft-proof buildings out of it. It is indoor work for many people. It is a hell of a lot easier than working on site.
