Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. P.J. Ryan:
The other point that was mentioned about statistics is that Ireland exports a great deal of precast concrete. Many countries, including the Netherlands, are aggregate poor, so they import and we export. On circularity, it will never come back into the economy once it goes away. That is a piece other countries do not have. We have had a lot more aggregates up to now.
