Ms Mair?ad Phelan:

The culture is changing. We have strong legislation in place. We have had strong legislation and regulations in place for a number of years. We need people on the ground to police what is happening. The economic operators and those producing and using construction products need to know that they will be audited, checked and inspected and that there will be consequences for any non-compliance. That is the message we are giving out as part of our inspections and what we are doing. We are carrying out information days for economic operators and explaining exactly what we want to see when we inspect their quarries.
