When does the Minister expect to receive a report on the outcome of an all-island research programme on fracking? I understand the previous Government, when asked if it was in favour of a ban on fracking, repeatedly said maybe but that it wanted to wait to see the outcome of this report. Does the Minister expect to have the report soon? What is the attitude of this Minister and this Government to the need for a nationwide ban on fracking?
