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. We are at a slight disadvantage, because the idea of these two sessions today and the session next week was in the context of what we are soon going to learn will be the sectoral...

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...

Eoin Ó Broin: The frustrating thing on that, and Mr. Meally is exactly right, is really substantial work on that and some weighty work. It has now reached a point however where to get it to the next level it will require much bigger push from the political sides. That is where the frustration is. I just acknowledge that.

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?

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank People Before Profit for tabling this legislation and giving us the opportunity to have this important debate. Like many Deputies across the House, I am a passionate believer in Ireland's military neutrality. That is because I am convinced our geopolitical, security and defence interests are best served by not being part of any military alliance. Because of that role, Irish...
