Ms Laura Burke:

I am trying to put that image out of my mind for one moment. We are talking to our colleagues in the UK but, more importantly, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency is on the steering committee for the research as well. In the context of any activities happening in Northern Ireland, there would need to be trans-boundary and consultation elements to the environmental impact assessment. We considered it very important to involve the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, which was very keen to be involved in the research, so that it could work with us to have the appropriate data with which to make decisions on fracking.
