Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the reason a quarry at Breaffy, Castlebar, County Mayo, continues to operate illegally and is left in a very dangerous condition with sheer drops of 100 ft into a hole in the ground extending over several acres, which is located in close proximity to a packed national school of 300 pupils with no proper barrier to prevent a fatal accident. The quarry is extending relentlessly closer to the adjoining lands and school, which will within another six months be within 60 metres of the school and which will be the scene of a fatal accident if nothing is done soon.
