Timber-framed homes and energy efficiency

Summary

Molloy asked whether Energy had discussed the efficiency of timber-framed houses with Environment; Collins was unaware of discussions, prompting Molloy to challenge the Minister.

Have the Department of Energy been in touch with the Department of the Environment regarding the greater efficiency in energy conservation of timber framed houses rather than the traditional concrete block cavity walls?

In matters relating to energy efficiency the Department of the Environment would co-operate with my Department.
