Mr. Meally mentioned public procurement. I am not a fan of the robustness of public procurement because I have seen too much of it that is not robust. Many people are left outside the process because of definitions and standards and they are not interested in tendering. That leaves a very small number of people. There is no real competition. Perhaps that is something we could have a chat about in the second round.

I have one other question. We are hearing about modular building systems all over the place. What role does the SEAI have to play in the certification of new modular systems that are being looked at in the building programme?
