Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
New Retrofitting Plan and the Built Environment: Discussion
Mr. Pat Barry:
One of the benefits of getting professionals to measure - this is the experience in France and Holland - is that once people start to measure, they naturally gravitate towards using materials like this. Again, we have to remove some of the Government barriers. There seem to be issues that block the growing of hemp. It is difficult and the lack of a production facility is stopping that. There are people who want to grow it and make these materials so we must facilitate them.
