Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Modern Construction Methods: Discussion

Ms Geraldine Larkin:

I may start at the end of Deputy's Duffy's question. Typically, an Agrément application takes between six and 12 months. I say typically because it depends on the amount of information provided and the evidence in support of a particular application. That is the answer regarding timeline. Some take longer than that, I should add, when we are waiting on manufacturers to provide us with information. That being said, as of now, there are no Agrément applications with us proposing the use of CLT. We are demand-driven, which my colleague, Mr. Balfe, will expand on. We respond to the applications we receive, rather than based on the particular manufacturing system.
