Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Issues Relating to Quarries and Deleterious Materials: Discussion
Ms Sarah Neary:
Under Article 53 of the EU's CPR, the notified body should contact us in regard to withdrawal of certificates. At that stage, we contact both the NBCMSO and the relevant market surveillance authority in the area, which is the local authority, to alert them that a risk may occur. In the instance we are discussing, because it related to concrete blocks in Donegal and given the sensitivities and the historic situation, the Minister requested an audit to be carried out on all concrete block manufacturers in Donegal.
