Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not directly involved in this area. It is a licensing issue between the company and the Department. Despite what some have suggested, it is not a matter for the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to decide yes or no on. It is a licensing matter between the Department officials and the company. As the Deputy pointed out in his remarks, it relates to issues around finance. The company says it is providing information but the Department is not happy with the information that has been provided. My understanding is that is where the matter lies, between the section in the Department and the company.
