Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I ask that time be allocated to debate No. 9 rather than for it be passed without debate on the basis that the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children has been advised in regard to the avian flu situation. It is important that the Health Service Executive's concerns be addressed. The Minister concerned asked on a radio programme this morning that people dealing with poultry make...

Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I correct the record on the Taoiseach's earlier comment in that all Green parties oppose nuclear power. Will the Taoiseach allow legislation to amend the strategic infrastructure Bill to ensure that nobody thinks the Taoiseach is trying to bring in nuclear power by the back door through this legislation? In England, a charities conference is being held today, and there is a charities...

Interdepartmental Committees. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: The Taoiseach referred to the agenda for the cross-departmental team on infrastructure as including issues such as the Transport 21 plan and housing. Will a re-examination of the strategic infrastructure Bill be on the agenda? Has the Taoiseach and the Government any plans for a thermal power station or any other combustion installation with a total energy output of 300 MW or more?

Interdepartmental Committees. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I ask whether this matter is on the agenda for the cross-departmental team. It has been suggested to me that such a proposal could cover a nuclear power station.

Interdepartmental Committees. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: I am confining myself by being very specific. The agenda of the cross-departmental team is a subject which the Taoiseach has raised. The question of whether a nuclear power station is on the agenda would be of considerable interest to people. Will the Taoiseach amend the Bill to clarify the matter as people will want to know if this is what he has in mind? Will the 1998 Aarhus Convention be...

Order of Business. (21 Feb 2006)

Trevor Sargent: It appears rushed once again for such a large and significant Bill to be dealt with in this way. Notwithstanding the late sitting, it was not planned for. If we are to have a reasoned debate, I agree with the proposal that Thursday should be the day on which Second Stage is taken. I oppose the late sitting on that basis.
