'It's great to have got to the point that we have a preferred option for banning petroleum licencing - it's years of peoples' lives'
Sinn Fein Economy Minister Conor Murphy has proposed a ban on onshore oil and gas exploration as well as fracking in Northern Ireland.
There are no current active petroleum licences in NI while the Executive still has to issue decisions on two applications for vast areas of counties Fermanagh and Tyrone, Armagh and Antrim. "The Department for the Economy currently has the power to grant licences to companies to search for and extract onshore oil and gas. My department recently consulted on the petroleum licensing system. The consultation opened on 15th January and closed on the 12th of April. The vast majority of respondents to the consultation supported the move away from fossil fuels."
"That needs to be followed obviously with legislation. Sinn Fein promised us a fracking ban that didn't arrive. We are not out of the woods until we see the legislation they are bringing forward."
