Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon, for coming in. I have a few short questions. I have worked on cross-country pipelines. One does a way leaves, roadway or whatever one wants for different types of work and construction. If one is doing a way leave one could be going through 20 to 100 different farms. It could be 100 m wide or 50 m wide, depending on the job one is doing. The...

Michael Fitzmaurice: One has to fence it and do everything. What I am asking the Minister of State is who is accountable for that fertiliser? Is it the contractor or is it farmers on the individual land? The contractor-----

Michael Fitzmaurice: No, Ms Byrne is not getting what I am saying. I am not taking about agriculture contractors; I am talking about a civil contractor. Some four or five big civil contractors do that construction. I will use the example of putting a big water pipeline from some part of Kildare to, say, Intel. It is a Government job that the civil contractor will price for the likes of Irish Water or...

Michael Fitzmaurice: The contractor is supplying it to farmers because there is a 50 m way leave. Irish Water will have done a deal with the farmers to put a pipe from Ballymore Eustace to Leixlip, for instance. It goes cross-country, but all that ground has to be reinstated because of the way leave. Whose responsibility is it? Is it the farmer on whose land the fertiliser is put on? The civil contractor has...
