Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of major public concern, namely, the urgent necessity for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a statement to the House outlining what representations he has made to the British Government regarding the radioactive leak which occurred at the Thorp plant at Sellafield on 18 April; if he has made an official complaint to the British Government regarding the three-day delay in notifying Irish authorities that such a leak had occurred; and if he will make clear whether he considers a three-day delay in notifying the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland is acceptable.
