Seanad debates

Tuesday, 20 May 2003

A motion has been tabled on the subject of Iraq. The situation in that country becomes a matter of increasing concern each day. There have been reports today that Iraqi nuclear facilities are not being protected and that local villagers are breaking in, looting them and removing radioactive material which is leading to pollution. There are already reports of radiation sickness developing. Who knows where some of this material might go? It could certainly end up in the wrong hands. In view of the Americans' alleged interest in weapons of mass destruction, it seems astonishing that they should so casually permit this dangerous material to be dispersed throughout Iraq.
