Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (5 Apr 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Obviously, if someone has Covid, that is completely understandable, but I understand that Mr. Warren Phelan was also to attend the meeting, and he is not here. First, I thank Mr. Meally for the presentation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (5 Apr 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: The responses have been very interesting. I am feeling slightly awkward because some of my questions are probably more for the Department, which is not represented. I do not want to ask the witnesses from SEAI questions about matters that are outside its remit but I also do not want to ask questions that repeat what their colleagues have told our colleagues in the other committee today. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (5 Apr 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a very basic question. It is not even about the individual sectoral targets.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (5 Apr 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will double-check and I do not want to waste the authority’s time. Just so I am clear on the figures, that difference in the figures is 180 to 400. Does that figure relate to contractors on-site? Or does it relate to the number of homes being processed?
