Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Mark Christal:
I will ask my colleague, Mr. O'Colmain, to comment but the Deputy picks up a really important point which is at the heart of our strategy, namely, the ability of Irish companies to scale and grow at a rate that enables them to respond to the market challenges, domestically and internationally, which is a key focus of Enterprise Ireland. It is a big cornerstone of our strategy to try to encourage companies to go on that scaling journey, including through research and development and through making them more competitive through their funding models. I will ask Mr. O'Colmain to come in. He works directly with the construction companies in Ireland on that agenda so he might be able to give some examples to answer the Deputy’s question.
