Will Mr. O'Sullivan express an opinion on this? Under section 157(4)(aa) of the relevant planning Act enforcement action may be taken against unauthorised quarrying and unauthorised peat extraction at any time. Is there merit in examining the widening of this to include our lakeshores and unauthorised development that could ultimately have a very profound negative impact on special areas of protection or special areas of conservation?
