Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hemp Industry: Discussion

Mr. Barry Caslin:

I was just saying that while I know blocks are coming in from a Belgian company, I do not know the level of importation. At the moment, we are talking about retrofitting many houses to bring them up to a high building energy rating. That is where I see the opportunities in construction. This is probably where it all needs to be explored a little further. The role in retrofitting, and perhaps modular homes and new builds, needs to be examined.
