Mr. Peter Scallan:

That is correct. There are seven permits required because it involves transiting seven counties. In some of those counties, one can get an annual permit for €300 or €400. Waterford is another example. There, it costs €117,000 per annum because the system is based on individual permits.

It is €300 through Offaly whereas it is €117,000 through Waterford to do the same job. There is no consistency with the permits. The paperwork is different for every county and the fees are different essentially for the same job.
