We should take a look at the Environmental Protection Agency. Everyone must be answerable to something but when Members say things in the Seanad, they should ensure they are factually correct. The Environmental Protection Agency issued fines to private companies in the District Court and there were 16 last year. The list is on the EPA website but I will put some of the details on the record of the House because an alternative statement was made earlier. The list includes Oxigen Environmental, Glanbia Foods Ireland Limited, which was fined €5,400, Irish Country Meats, which was fined €10,000, Green Isle Foods Limited, which was fined more than €8,000, and Rosderra Irish Meats Groups, County Offaly, which was fined €12,700.
