Quarries and the implementation of 261 registration
Quarries are the single greatest category of development in Ireland where there is large scale illegality and irregularity.
Section 261, Planning and Development Act 2000, which came into force in April 2005, was supposed to regularise the operations of Ireland’s heavily non planning compliant quarry industry, where so many sites were operating either without or in breach of planning or linked to illegal dumping.
