Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the necessity for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to make a statement to the House regarding the fact that an inspection on Sunday last at a sampling location in one of Sellafield nuclear plant's high activity storage tanks uncovered high dose rates resulting in temporary evacuation of the plant; the fact that this incident is further evidence of the atrocious safety record at Sellafield; and the necessity for the Government to redouble its efforts to bring about the closure of this death plant.
