That is great. I am following along so far.

There was a conference in Avondale recently that Deputy Duffy and I attended. It was about building with timber, including CLT. It was the opening of the Avondale Coillte construction project. Clause 3.2.5.2 seemed to be referred to as inhibiting building higher than 10 m in timber construction. Does it need to be changed? What I gathered from the presentation was that this clause had travelled in time with us but had not kept pace with modern timber construction methods and did not take into account how timber could be as fire resistant as conventional materials. Will Ms O'Brien guide me on this?
