In view of the fact that the Government will be represented at this convention will they be opposing the continued dumping of nuclear waste off the south-west coast?

I am sure the Minister would be willing to give the answer to that. Why will they be there if they are not going to oppose?

The representation at the meeting will be from the Department of Foreign Affairs and not from my Department and a policy decision will be taken by that Department.
