Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Modern Construction Methods: Discussion
Mr. Des O'Toole:
At the Build with Wood conference in Avondale in November, a request was made for the establishment of a cross-departmental working group with industry participation to look at these issues and try to develop a roadmap to solve these problems and move forward. I will make an observation on what has happened in the room today. We are hearing from everybody that there is a willingness to try to get together and solve the problems. We had a regulatory and demonstration discussion earlier. I am using this opportunity to see can we get that cross-departmental working group established and agree terms of reference. We could put a 12-month timeframe in place to resolve the issues. That is doable and there are enough interested parties in this room to make it happen.
