Jackie Cahill (Tipperary, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I sincerely thank the Minister for taking on board the request from the Oireachtas joint committee, which I am privileged to chair. I really appreciate him doing so. Our report is entitled Environmental Impact of Local Industrial Emissions in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny, and I welcome the fact that we will have a review of what happened there. I will not go back over what I said earlier in the debate but I very much welcome the Minister's decision. I hope we can bring this to a conclusion, as Deputy Fitzmaurice said, sooner rather than later, but as long as we do it comprehensively and in an efficient manner, that is what I and everyone else who is involved in this wants. I sincerely thank the Minister for his presence this evening and for listening to the committee and its concerns. We just want to get to the truth of the matter and bring it, as I said, to a conclusion with an impending investigation as speedily and efficiently as possible. I thank him again.
