Quarry owners and operators around the country will be receiving notices from planning authorities in the coming months pursuant to Section 261A of the Planning and Development Act. These notices may have serious and far-reaching consequences for quarries that are currently operating or those that are temporarily dormant, potentially leading to quarries being forced to close down.

It is vital that quarry owners engage fully with the process that is underway. An information leaflet concerning the process and the issues involved is available to view on our website, and we would be happy to assist with any queries that may arise.
