Mr. Barry Fox:

I assure the Deputy that the Minister of State is taking this very seriously and has been in continuous contact with the agencies involved in the investigation. As a consequence of what has happened, he has prioritised equipping IFI with additional legislation to allow us to modernise what we do in this environment. The weakness in IFI at the moment is that we are operating under 1959 legislation with a very narrow field in water pollution and water quality enforcement. That is a challenge. There is no question about that. Our staff on the ground and environmental officers are highly professional and diligent. They go above and beyond to try to deliver in instances like this.
