Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

The Senator should be patient and wait for the launch of the strategy on 2 April. I have already made an announcement in this regard. Ireland was one of the first countries to examine this issue. This is one of the areas in respect of which we were considering taking action but the problem is that it is not possible to take action which could be regarded as restraint of trade within the EU. We must wait until the EU makes its move before we can act. The Senator will see my response in detail on 2 April.

I disagree with the lobbyist to whom Senator O'Toole referred several times because insulation standards here are among the highest in the world.
