In that context, why is it not the case that all public bodies involved in construction are using lower carbon cement but also that public policy determines that we get to a point where, say, 80% of all cement used in the State is low carbon? That is a figure off the top of my head. If it we are in the good location and it is already doable, as the OPW has shown it is, should we not make the case that, just like gas boilers and we are trying to do with solid fuels, we have a phase-out date for the dirty stuff.
