John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

Regarding Senator Daly's concerns about the convention, it is currently being reviewed by the International Maritime Organisation in London. We will be putting forward some of the concerns raised here by Senators, including those of Senator Daly. The Sea Pollution (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003 will deal with some of Senator Daly's concerns regarding oil pollution, for example. On the nuclear issue, some of it is our responsibility. Although I do not wish to pass the buck, most of it is the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Cullen. We will pass on Senator Daly's concerns regarding the movements of the nuclear industry through our waters.
