I do not think any of the dumping sites were in my constituency but they were very nearby. I recall them being in Meath or Louth or something like that.
This question relates more to process than to revenue but is it practical or feasible for such a firm to mix 10% of the capacity of whatever their forecourt tank is with an illicit product? Is it detectable? I know there are ISO standards and so on, but my question is are they really? In the past four or five years, rather than more recently, I received many complaints about suspected green diesel. About a decade ago, a former Fingal councillor's car was destroyed by green diesel. I wonder if it is prevalent. Is it as simple as watering it down to the point where it is not detectable?
