I thank Dr. McLoughlin for her contribution. I have attended a number of meetings with her in attendance and I know that the organisation has had extensive communication with the local community in north Leitrim and beyond. Will she describe for the committee the concerns which exist and identify if even talk about hydraulic fracturing has had an impact on house values, investment decisions etc.? Will she describe the fears and concerns that local people have communicated to her during these meetings? Does Dr. McLoughlin detect the potential for conflict within the community of north Leitrim because of hydraulic fracturing? Will she describe an optimal outcome from these discussions?
