I should like advice from the Chair on a particular matter. I sought to raise the question of the Sellafield incident by means of a Private Notice Question and on the Adjournment but I was refused on both counts. How can a Member raise this important issue in the Dáil, a matter that is causing serious public disquiet?

Without wishing to be short with the Deputy, I must point out to him that he cannot raise the matter and I cannot do better than refer him to Standing Orders.

This is a very serious incident. I thought it was urgent enough to have it raised in the House.

I must move on to the next business.
