Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

Briefly, I do not know the current price of concrete, although I should. However, I can confirm that last week, I paid €300, plus VAT, for 17 tonnes of washed sand. As washed sand makes up half the ingredients of concrete, I can imagine the price of the latter. It is not cheap and people are being fleeced for it.
