This is a serious matter because I am asking that the Seanad should once again add to its record by, for example, seeking the implementation of the Keating principles, which would mean that the Irish people benefit from every discovery of mineral resources in this country.

Let us use it, not for the benefit of multinationals but for the benefit of the Irish people.
