I thank the Minister. When I read the reference to Rosslare I thought it was something to do with Wexford but I was willing to let it pass. If there was something to do with Wexford I would not try to block it but if it in any way helps the operation down there, well and good.

Amendment No. 84 deals with the Office of the Commissioner for Environmental Information. I accept what the Minister said about the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse and so on but in sub-paragraph (d) of the amendment, the Minister is inserting a provision which is essentially to restrict freedom of information in these situations. I have a problem with restricting environmental agencies in terms of not being able to get environmental information.
