I will phrase it in this way. Will Mr. Ó Coigligh assure this committee that he or the Minister will, following the meeting today, order an examination of this particular quarry in terms of the geological and petrographic assessment to be carried out and that when this is done it would be independently and urgently examined, including getting access to that quarry to do that? That is the least the thousands of people affected deserve. Lives have been destroyed here in one of the biggest scandals in the history of the State. Surely that assurance can be given? If it has not been done already, can Mr. Ó Coigligh give assurance it will be done after today?
