Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

Two documents laid before the Dáil on today's Order Paper relate to proposals regarding the 7th Framework Programme 2007-2011 of the EURATOM Treaty. There is ongoing debate on a sunset clause in the European constitution so the EURATOM Treaty would go out of existence. Is there an opportunity to debate the need for this organisation and this country's involvement in a treaty that compromises our participation in debates on nuclear safety in other countries?
