Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

It will be a risk-based assessment, as I said on Second Stage, which Senator Cullinane has obviously forgotten. It will deal, in the first instance, with rivers, lakes and streams. We want to protect the people in rural areas in regard to public health and water supply, but obviously Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil do not. I have listened carefully to all the nonsense. Members opposite are against public health and the environment but are in favour of ground water contamination because they are a failure.
