I know that the Environmental Protection Agency was commissioned by the Government to undertake a two year study of fracking to examine if it could be conducted in a way that would not cause significant environmental pollution. In August 2014 the EPA, the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency awarded the contract to a consortium led by CDM Smith. Was the Department satisfied with the interim report on fracking produced by the EPA? When can we expect to see the final report?
