Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Role of Private Sector Construction Industry in Delivering High-Quality National Infrastructure: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Micheál O'Connor:

Can I return to the environmental question? It is not as if we are looking to be irresponsible from an environmental perspective. We work extensively across Europe, including in some of the most environmentally responsible countries, such as the Scandinavian and Nordic states, which are renowned for their environmental responsibility. What we are really talking about is having a planning system and a structure that gives certainty and clarity around projects, the pipeline of projects and how projects can be delivered.
