In order to be fair to everyone in terms of time, we can return to the summary issues. I want to thank all the witnesses for their opening statements, for being here and for giving up the time in their day to assist the committee with this.

Last week, Coillte, which obviously grows a lot of the timber in this country, appeared before the committee, as did SOLAS, which does the training and the Office of Public Works, OPW, which is constructing volumetric housing at present. There was also the National Standards Authority of Ireland, which the witnesses referenced. We need building regulations and standards to be aligned. We had, therefore, covered a little bit of it.

I will now move to the members, who will have seven-minute slots. Deputy McAuliffe will go first.
