I will follow on from Deputy Colreavy's question because it is about the elephant in the room where we are coming from. If the EPA concludes following an EIS that drilling and mining are appropriate to proceed, does the Bill contain a provision that gives the Minister the right to overrule that or must he accept the recommendations of the agency? Is he under a legal obligation?
