Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. P.J. Ryan:

I think so. It gives confidence, even on recycled materials. We want to recycle materials and a lot of the testing is ad hoc. Some of it even gets sent abroad to be tested and then is brought back. That takes time. It would give us more confidence in reusing materials. Our contractors will always be wary with all the issues we have had with materials just like the authorities are wary of letting things into foundations. We just need to have that oversight and having the testing laboratory would be good to give that confidence.
