I am anxious to see more specific timescales firmed up for proposed remediation proposals. To that end, the Department's exploration and mining division met the county manager of North Tipperary County Council on 15 October last with a view to updating of respective positions and clarifying the road map for achieving progress. A meeting will be held with Mogul early next month, after which it should be possible to agree more specific timescales for progressing the rehabilitation proposals, in co-ordination with the local authority, the EPA and Mogul. As I said already, the issue of which agency will provide the necessary expertise and funding to deal with the other sites needs to be decided. Legislation will probably be necessary.
