Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I remind the Minister that this is not about schoolboy debates, it is about governing, about being a Minister and having policies. I have no doubt he is genuine in his beliefs, and I pay tribute to that. The Minister says we should debate the nuclear option, knowing full well that he has no conviction in that regard at all, and it is just a bit too glib. The Minister has a clear policy view that nuclear power is not an option and we are already barred from developing it.
