Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I welcome the Minister's categoric position on nuclear power but what position did he take on the European Council's energy policy and its support for the revival of nuclear power? Did he oppose it, contrary to media reports which said that only Germany and Austria opposed it?

When does the Minister believe the services directive, revised as suggested in the conclusions, will be presented? Was any mention made at the Council meeting of the changes in the Basque country and consideration given to removing Batasuna from the list of banned organisations to encourage the country's political peace process, which is in its infancy?
