i know you're using this as an example only, but let's be clear that CRH doesn't have massive debt - Net Debt is ~1X EBITDA which is extremely low leverage. they have major running room to draw on their credit line and roll-up incremental EBITDA.

if they stopped acquiring they could repay all of their debt in relatively short order.

food for though...
