Tony McLoughlin (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

This Bill has one simple goal, this being to protect Ireland’s onshore and internal waters, our climate and, as such, Irish citizens’ public health from the damaging effects of exploration and extraction of onshore petroleum. The Bill is proposed with the full support of my constituents in counties Leitrim and Sligo who would be those most affected by this type of action.
