The committee has received a letter from Mr. Gerry McCaughey, chief executive of Century Homes, who is seeking a meeting with the committee to outline his concerns about the application of CO2 emissions regulations to the concrete industry. Mr. McCaughey's company specialises in the construction of wooden homes. If it is proposed to consider this, I would suggest that he be asked to make a detailed submission to the committee. We can decide if and when to meet him once the submission has been made. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Members will recall that we circulated a submission from Mr. Peter Brennan of AL Goodbody Consulting on Ireland's national allocation plan. The clerk has been in contact with Mr. Brennan and he has confirmed that he is not proposing to come before the committee but will nominate three of his clients who would like to address the committee in the near future in connection with the submission. We can pursue that in the context of the other submission.
I understand that it is probably too late for this committee to make any further meaningful contribution on the national allocation plan prior to its agreement by the Commission. Nevertheless it might be useful to conduct a short series of meetings, perhaps towards the end of January, to consider the impact of the plan on certain sectors. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Before I come to any other business, are the minutes of the meeting of 10 November agreed? Agreed.
