I will be straight. Is Mr. Neenan including an EIA to comply with the habitats directive or is he including the screening out of locations where it is 15 km away from a designated site? How confident is he? As a turf cutter, I do not have confidence in the EPA because when I see some of the stuff it comes out with, I would be afraid of my life to give it to it.
