Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
We spoke the last day about bringing the definition of "dolomitic limestone" in line with that used in the North. I refer to the famous reference to "85 percent" in the definition as it stands. I do not know what the view of the Minister of State and his officials is in this regard. This is one of the materials listed in the Schedule. Obviously, we are not pressing it to a vote. It is just a concern that has been highlighted by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in meetings with various concerned parties. It is about the revenue that is brought in from this particular provision and about how the classification of "dolomitic limestone" would be done.Does the Minister have a view in relation to that particular material?
