Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Modern Construction Methods: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Martin Searson:
The Built to Innovate scheme is in place and there are Lean voucher schemes. Enterprise Ireland provides a lot of such support but it is subject to state aid rules. Therefore, if the funds are to be scaled up, permission will have to be obtained. The supports would definitely be targeted at the off-site manufacturers. It is a question of driving the education and skills development we need and having training courses. Skillnet Ireland could possibly help with a scheme in this regard. If we are to scale up to the capacity required and have certainty, we will need to have the inputs to make it happen.
