Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I will stick to them. The Minister referred to the standardisation of the EPA guidelines nationally but he failed to answer the question I put to him in that regard. He chose to completely ignore my query with regard to what will happen in the future. In the context of the mysterious standard that will apply, what is to prevent not the Government or the Minister of the day but rather Europe from stating that we must alter the guidelines?
