Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Hydraulic Fracturing: Discussion

10:40 am

Ms Laura Burke:

As I said in my opening statement, our role is in commercial extraction. A licence would be required from the EPA for commercial extraction. The EPA does not have a role with regard to exploration licences, other than as a statutory consultee with regard to the environmental impact assessments associated with such licences.
