Mr. Se?n Balfe:

The board was not specifying buildings of the type the Cathaoirleach is talking about but it was advising the Department on how to develop the technical guidance documents. It had input from representatives of various industries, including from Coillte, the concrete industry and those types of representatives who would advise the Department and fight their corner, if you like, or make some of the arguments Mr. O'Toole is making for higher timber-frame construction.
