Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I rise to support my colleague, Deputy Terence Flanagan. I do not believe the Department has grasped the importance or serious nature of this issue with regard to what is extracted from quarries and what goes into landfill and also into the infill under the foundations of houses. This is a significant issue affecting up to 30,000 homes. A working group is required on this issue, a point I ask the Minister to consider.
