Dáil committee seeks to compel CRH to appear before it

THE Dáil will be asked later this month to invoke a rarely-used power to compel cement multinational CRH to appear before an Oireachtas Committee.

Members of the Environment Committee have unanimously agreed to ask the Dáil to pass a motion to require representatives of the company to appear before it.

The move comes after members of the all-party committee reacted angrily when Roadstone, a subsidiary of CRH, refused to appear at the committee hearing earlier this week.
