Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)
In terms of the current legislation, the Senator is correct. However, this Bill changes the position so that people cannot just walk away. A process is now in place to ensure events such as those referred to by the Senator do not occur. The current situation is unclear and, therefore, I am bringing certainty to the law so that a company cannot just send the licence in the post and leave the country.
