Mr. Eamonn Stapleton:

I will respond on what has worked since we last spoke. At that time the full waste management changes were not in. Currently we are on a large site which is a public housing site. There is quite a volume of material which, prior to the changes being made in respect of Article 27, would have been going on the back of diesel-powered trucks which would have been going down the road to some landfill somewhere to be disposed of and no value to anybody. With the changes in the Article 27 regulations, which allow you to make an informed decision on site - it is subject to review by the authorities but you can make a decision in a much shorter timeframe, and timeframes are important in construction for loads of reasons - to retain the material, reuse it in a recycled manner so that as well as avoiding taking material away we avoid importing material from a quarry. That is something that has happened and it was a big change. There is more progress is to be made on it in terms of the definition of materials, which is in some ways just retagging it, but it will improve the circumstances. That is a number of years. The EPA has a role in terms of monitoring it and so on to make sure that it is not being abused on the edges and so on. In general, in terms of earthworks and so on, that is quite a game-changer.
