Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

It was certainly strange to see gardaí with video recorders last night.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following matter of public interest, requiring urgent consideration, namely, that British Nuclear Group has been fined €743,000 for the leaking of radioactive waste that went undetected for eight months at its Sellafield plant, providing another example of the continuing poor management of that plant and the consequent threat posed to the Irish environment.
