My final comment is that in that scenario outlined by the Minister, and if I was the proprietor of the said illegal quarry and the enforcement notice then required remediation, the very first thing I would be doing would be to get legal advice to see whether, as I had been operating for eight or nine years, section 138 surely applies. We will, however, await with interest the Minister's response.
