I want to draw the OPW's attention to a strategic infrastructure development that is being proposed in Wicklow. It is a very large quarry, Ballinclare quarry, and is quite close to Kilmacurragh, for which the OPW has responsibility. That is not a live planning application at present. As I understand it, it is going through non-statutory public consultation at the moment. It is not a live planning application as such, which is why I am happy to raise it here. However, I want to draw the OPW's attention to it and raise my concerns about the potential impacts of such a large development so close to Kilmacurragh.
