Government views on nuclear weapons in Europe

Summary

Burke asked whether the Government would convey its opposition to nuclear weapons in Europe to all relevant nations, including Russia; the Chair ruled that the House could not debate the wider issue then.

Ray Burke Mr. R. Burke Fianna Fáil

Deputy De Rossa expanded the scope of the question when he referred to nuclear weapons in Europe and I should like to ask the Minister of State if the Government will make known our views to other nations who have nuclear weapons sited in Europe? Our concern should be made known not just to the Americans and the British but to the Russians also.
