There is one particular matter, namely, the licence associated with Aughinish Alumina in Limerick. The EPA has responsibility for this and there has been an inquiry into it. The outworking of the matter was not very satisfactory. Obviously, it has been in the news in recent times because of the possible embargo on the owner but it is about looking about how that is handled, finance and the EPA's oversight of an entity of that nature. Does the EPA take a hands-off or hands-on approach?
