945. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in view of 2015 European water framework directive, if his Department is prepared to withdraw IPPC licences from industries along the Shannon which threaten our fishing tourism industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no function in relation to the matters outlined in the question. Implementation of the Water Framework Directive is a matter for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. The issuing, monitoring and review of IPPC licences is a matter for the Environmental Protection Agency.
