Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

It is very early days to be contemplating the likely flow from that particular oilfield, although its discovery is more than welcome. I assure the Deputy that the Government will take every step necessary to ensure we maximise the return to the people from such an oil flow. I will bring the Deputy's question to the attention of the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte, who has direct responsibility for these matters.
