Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Se?n Armstrong:

The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is also developing a policy with regard to decarbonisation of cement for public bodies for their public procurement processes. That is set out in the climate action plan. With regard to Wood First, I think we explained earlier that the modern methods of construction policy are seen as a key initiative to help support Housing for All. It has been implemented through local authority public procurement policy. In the past we have seen that timber-frame housing is very successful in terms of modern methods of construction. We have seen it come through as a significant technology in that context.
