Statutory Home Care: Statements (27 Jun 2024)

Paul Murphy: How a society treats and takes care of its older people says a great deal about the values of that society. The way that older people are currently treated does not reflect well on the basic values that underpin our current for-profit, capitalist society. It is a society and an economy where care work is massively undervalued and under-provided. Where it is provided, it is on a for-profit...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I thank both groups for coming in. I will start with Ms Jammet, if I could. She has said that Ireland is not good on this front compared with other countries in Europe. We have one of the lowest rates of circular material use. Why is that the case? Why are we worse than the EU average?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: In her opening remarks, Ms Jammet mentioned the need for these circularity principles to be integrated into planning. That includes, for example, pre-demolition audits on larger projects. That makes sense to me. I agree with the point that Senator Dooley was getting at, that if it is not in planning regulations then the tendency and incentive will be for the lowest costs to be taken, and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: It is not related to public or private, but simply the size of the project?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: The environment does not care whether it is done by the public sector or private sector. Is that fair to say?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I have a final question and then will go to CIF. A big issue here is vacant properties. They already exist and have a lot of embodied carbon. Even if they are in bad condition, full retrofits are still a fraction of the cost of building new properties. What is the main obstacle, as Ms Jammet sees it, to bringing vacant properties into use, which will obviously significantly reduce...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I will now turn to the CIF. Do the witnesses broadly agree with the recommendations being made in terms of planning about pre-demolition audits?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: Mr. Fitzpatrick says CIF is broadly in favour of a more circular approach to the construction industry. The CIF lobbies the Government a lot. Is this something it has lobbied for over the past year or in recent years? I refer to an increase in standards and so on.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: To ask the question again, in all of the Construction Industry Federation's lobbying of the Government, has it lobbied in favour of increased standards in service of environmental standards for building in terms of circularity?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: It seems to me that the Construction Industry Federation is coming before the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action and saying it is all for circulatory but in terms of its engagements with the Government, I think the witness said the Construction Industry Federation has never lobbied for increased standards. When I asked about increased standards, the representatives immediately...
