David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

The Naval Service is located near the relevant area; does the Minister for Defence have a view on this matter? This is an extremely serious issue. I live in the area and have had calls from residents who are very concerned about the high levels of chromium 6 and mercury that have been known for years but covered up. I ask the Taoiseach to publish the reports on this matter immediately so people's fears can be allayed. Will the Minister make a statement in the House this evening on the matter? This is extremely serious, why is it being covered up? Why is the Minister running and hiding?
