Mr. Eoin McGrath:

Deputy Mac Lochlainn is slightly off track there. The quarry in question that led to the specific audit is not the quarry that the Deputy is thinking of. It is a separate quarry. We were called on 17 October 2021. There was a request for technical assistance. GSI essentially is the State's geologist, so if any arm of the State requires a geologist, much as the Attorney General is called on for legal advice, we are contacted for geological advice. We went there and we sampled particular stockpiles that were available, one of which had certification from the NSAI as a material for concrete and one of which did not have certification. The material that did not have certification came back as completely compliant with all the standards. The quarry operators on the ground informed us that they had the geologist's report and certification in train and we received that approximately a week later. The material that was in the geologist's report concurred with our own findings.
