I wish to raise an issue that was a blight on rural Ireland during the crash, namely, legislation dealing with quarries. Now that construction has begun again after the crash, nobody has any problem with progress, but I have seen three or four quarries in County Meath from which companies just walked away. With residents, I viewed one quarry on the border between Longwood and Rathmoylan where a man-made lake was left behind. Acres of desolate land were left behind. There were no safety measures and children were swimming in the lake that was left behind by the company that had quarried limestone. It was a disgrace that there was no legislation to tell the company to come back and clear up the mess it had left behind. There are three or four such quarries in my county from which companies have just walked away. Will the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government come to the House to talk about proper legislation to deal with this issue? It is a huge issue all over the country. I am sure Members in this Chamber have issues relating to quarries in their counties where companies have walked away and just left the areas desolate. A person would think he or she had landed on the moon. When I went to see the quarry and went around the corner, I saw a massive man-made lake that would cost millions of euro to fix. It is a disgrace. We need serious legislation because local authorities do not have the powers to cope with these companies which just walk away. We need to be proactive for future generations and to ensure safety for all. History will not be kind to us if we do not address this issue.
