This is not a Second Stage speech. This is a point. Is it possible to increase the extracted area to five hectares or ensure a quarry may apply to An Bord Pleanála for substitute consent without incurring fees? This would mean jobs would not be lost as a result of the measure. I have no difficulty with the proposal as long as we are not damaging people's livelihoods.
