Radiological protection legislation
Michael P. Kitt asks about the Bill merging the radiological protection institute with the EPA and ratification of the nuclear materials convention; the Tánaiste expects the Bill next year but gives no ratification date.
When is publication expected of the radiological protection (amendment) Bill to provide for the merger of the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland, RPII, and the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA? When will the convention on the physical protection of nuclear materials and nuclear facilities arising from the legislation be ratified by this country?
