EPA Study on Fracking was been carried on by Fracking firms. Good news – it’s official! “GEAI is delighted with this news. Before Christmas, Minister Joe McHugh, who has responsibility for Natural Resources, said that he had requested an interim report from the EPA. It is great news that this has been confirmed. Basically, the study is stalled and, moreover, it is unlikely to proceed in the future – we understand that the contract with the lead research contractor – CDM Smith – finishes in August this year, two years from signing. |

FFI did attend the meeting. The stop the (EPA) study was addressed. The chair informed the public that there was a meeting in Dec. by GEAI with the ministers , the EPA, with result that the study had been stopped.
Some Irish campaigners have been trying in the past week to get an official statement from the Irish Department of Energy confirming that this study has been stopped as GEAI is claiming.
The Department has since not been able to provide any such statement; the study has not actually been officially stopped but put on pause. The Stop The Study campaign is therefore far from over.
Think this is worth clarifying, as GEAI’s press release may give the wrong impression to those not familiar with the situation.
Martin Kenny (SF) Stop the Study: , ‘I shaved this morning, I stopped, but I can start shaving tomorrow again. You can stop something, but you can start again’
A campaigner after 1 ½ hour (so everyone could have had they say) stated:‘There have been close meetings in the Dail last Dec. between
