Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

There is no doubt it is the tourism capital of the country. Senator Sheahan raised the issue of the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, and problems in that regard. I suggest that the Joint Committee on the Environment, Transport, Culture and the Gaeltacht would be a more appropriate forum than the House at which the chief executive of the EPA could attend. There is also a request that I consider a visit by the Financial Regulator with the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. I do not think that we will be acceding to it. We will consider it but I think it is a matter for the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform. Senator Brennan concluded on diesel laundering, a matter which several other Senators raised.
