Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Unconventional Gas Exploration and Extraction: Environmental Protection Agency

Mr. Dara Lynott:

I cannot respond to that, principally because research goes on a different track from the political system. Legislators, such as the committee and the Governments, North and South, must make decisions themselves. We are conducting research that will be available to everyone to use as they will. I cannot respond as to why other regulators do or do not do what they do.
