Nuclear plant near Ireland
Finian McGrath objects to a proposed £16 billion nuclear plant near Ireland and seeks action through the energy Bill. The Chair rules the policy issue out of order, while the Taoiseach says the Bill is due next year; subsequent remarks concern the heated exchange.
Regarding No. 64, does the Taoiseach share my major concerns about a nuclear plant, costing £16 billion, that is proposed to be located 250 km from our coast?

I understand that the European Commission gave its endorsement for this particular proposal this morning. The energy provisions Bill, No. 64, is due next year, so the Deputy will have plenty of opportunity to make his case.

There must have been something in the cornflakes this morning. I have never seen such an angry membership in my life.

The cheaper brands are driving them mad. They should go back to Kellogg's Cornflakes.

Deputy Finian McGrath is not getting any younger. He should cool down. This is bad for the ticker.
