On this issue of substitute consent, I echo a number of concerns that have come to me from already legal, compliant small quarries in Galway, and I am sure this applies nationwide. I emphasise at the outset that the quarries to which I refer are already legal, compliant and with planning. They are not the ones that are illegal, which I completely accept are out of order and which the Department should be pursuing.
