Modern Construction Methods: Discussion
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I am aware that everybody is up to their eyes at work. Everybody's workload is immense and the issue is huge. We do not want to rush into this and find out in ten years' time that we rushed that in order to try to make up a short bit. From what I have heard, I sense there is something missing. I still cannot understand what it is.
Mr. O'Connor mentioned the volume the OPW would need to get 300 units. Was that a reference to this becoming a much more viable model? If we take the bigger construction companies in the country, including the likes of Glenveagh and Cairn, which are building houses on that level on certain estates around the place, are they using these methods yet, even though they are working at those volumes?
