Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein)

The Minister has said the EPA is carrying out a study and is using the study of the University of Aberdeen as part of it. Have there been consultations with the EPA's counterpart in the Six Counties, given that the fracking project will straddle the Border? Have there been consultations with the EPA's equivalent in France on the reasoning behind the ban imposed on fracking by the French Government? Is there concurrent evidence in this country to suggest the same?
