Will the officials come back to us on how this is going to be dealt with at source? Will they re-examine this issue of the regulatory body? It is grand to have all these bodies but we have more quangos than would fill the Phoenix Park. We need a very straight line in regard to the tests being taken at the concrete plant, particularly at the batching plant so that it can officially be stood over and somebody in a public body somewhere can say "Yes" or "No" and if it is not up to standard that they can intervene and stop it. Otherwise, the wheel keeps going around.
