Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant
Treacy asks the Government to request that Britain close Sellafield; the Chair notes the matter is due for debate that evening, and O’Brien says it is before the Minister. The remaining turns handle the carrying forward of two questions and conclude Question Time.
In view of the fact that the Chernobyl nuclear base is located over 1,500 miles from us but affected this country and that the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant is located less than 100 miles away, would the Minister of State request the Taoiseach and the Minister for Defence, at the Cabinet table, to make a unanimous request to the British Government to close down the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant?

That is something that will be before the House this evening. That is anticipating a debate this evening.

A Cheann Comhairle, might I carry forward Questions Nos. 26 and 27 to be nominated for priority?
