In October 2021, I requested the National Building Control & Market Surveillance Office in partnership with Donegal County Council and with the support of Geological Survey Ireland, to carry out a market surveillance audit of all quarries in Co Donegal. The purpose of this audit was to evaluate relevant economic operators’ compliance with the Construction Products Regulation when placing aggregate concrete blocks and/or aggregates for concrete on the market.  

I received the report of this audit at the end of June and am currently examining its contents.
