If we do not know the number of quarries and when they are opening or closing, we do not know if they are compliant with planning or licensing. How does market surveillance operate other than in a completely reactive way like in Donegal where there is a national scandal and people are sent in after the fact to look at it?

I want to go back to Mr. Aidan O'Connell's commentary about a quarry that he mentioned. To what extent can the officials reassure us that across the State there is visibility and, therefore, proper enforcement and compliance with quarries?
