The article doesn't mention where the equipment originated. Was this from Norway or the UK or elsewhere?
Did the quarry give full evaluation to screening equipment made in Northern Ireland?

Sandvik is a Swedish company, so I think the equipment originated from the town of Sandviken, where the company is situated.

I stand corrected - Sweden not Norway -but it's still not a British contractor/ vendor.

Why should there be “any kind of blockage”?? As far as I know the F.I. are a trustworthy trading partner.

Argys are not used to having money to do things like that, comes as a nasty shock to them every time that the Islanders have.

Envy is a large part of why they get so upset about the Islands.
