Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
While quarrying is an activity I do not particularly like, it has to be carried out under proper planning and strict guidelines. There should be more monitoring of the actual quarrying that takes place, because a great deal of damage has been done. I have taken up many complaints with the local authority and the Department regarding the way in which areas are left completely destroyed, roads damaged and water supplies affected. That area could also be looked under the heading of environmental control.
