As Fine Gael spokesperson on the Marine and Natural Resources in the last Dáil, I took a great interest in oil and gas exploration activity. While the Century Radio licence and planning decisions feature prominently in Ray Burke's activities, significant policy changes were made to the requirements for oil and gas exploration licences, which were beneficial to those involved. It was proposed that if taxes were not placed on the profits of oil and gas exploration companies, many of them would take up licences. This did not happen. The companies took out licences but 15 years later they still have them and we are still waiting for results. However, people involved in these oil and gas companies have been good to Fianna Fáil and I wonder whether this issue should have been covered by the Flood tribunal. If there was interference in the awarding of the licence to Century Radio, who is to say similar interference did not occur in the awarding of oil and gas exploration licences?
