Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Eamonn Stapleton:
This highlights part of the problem. When you are contracting on a site and you come across an opportunity to reuse something the question is whose responsibility it is. There is very little motivation for the contractor to take responsibility for it. Designers are involved and there is a client involved. The laboratory is an idea it is all about the timeframe. It is all about time because you cannot stand there looking at it. Somebody has to take responsibility for it but it would have to be through a State body in order that it is certified and so on.
