I wanted to ask a number of things about this amendment. This is clearly an industry in which there has been a history of problems. I see Deputy Lawlor is leaving the Chamber, and if one takes Naas, for example, a mountain of waste was allowed to develop and it burned for weeks before the fire brigade was called in. Remediation costs were somewhere in the region of €40 million. Are the fines adequate? It looks like there will be a reduction in the fine.
