Mr. Ciar?n O'Connor:

I would personally support that. In America, the people who do all the federal roads have insisted that its use must be at 75% or 80%. It could be argued that it this presents a conundrum because more roads are being built but when the roads are being built, a high percentage of low carbon cement is being used. That is in a country that would often see this sort of thing as state intervention, yet it is seen as a positive. Other countries are doing it. It is an easy win for Ireland. We should do it and be unanimous about it. The Government formal contract has certain problems but it also has a certain strength in that if something is specified, it has to be done. It is not left to the contractor to decide whether to do it. We just need to make some very simple ground rule changes that would get that benefit.
