Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Unconventional Gas Exploration and Extraction: Environmental Protection Agency

9:30 am

Dr. Brian Donlon:

Some of the reports are reviewed by people who have not been involved in it to date. I am talking about the internal review. They could be independent Irish consultants or independent consultants from Germany, for example, who were not involved in drafting the initial report. They review the reports and send them through to the EPA which then co-ordinates the review carried out by our own external people.
