This is specifically around the carbon intensity of construction, however. I do not know whether the officials saw the figure reported recently by the Irish Green Building Council, which is if everything we build will be concrete, on these figures, we will way overshoot our carbon emissions targets. There will be vacant units, reuse and repurposing, but we also need to look at modern construction methods. Is this a matter that Kildare County Council has come across?
