110 Ms Clune asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if she is in receipt of a report on the recent review of emergency procedures in the event of a nuclear attack or accident; if she will publish the report; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31143/01]

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 51 and 87 on 27 November 2001.

As I mentioned in that reply, I expect to have around the middle of this month the consultants' report on the recent exercise to test the national emergency plan for nuclear accidents. Any appropriate amendments to the plan on foot of the report will be carried out. At this stage, I cannot say if the consultants' report will be published. The nature and content of a report such as this will need to be taken into consideration before any decision could be made as to its publication.
