Vol. 256 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Lead content in Petrol.

37.

asked the Minister for Local Government if his attention has been drawn to a report (details supplied) pointing out the danger to health of the lead content of petrol; and what steps he has taken to reduce this danger.

I have seen the Press report mentioned by the Deputy. I am also aware of other studies on this subject which suggests that the level of lead emissions from motor vehicles in countries such as Ireland does not constitute a danger to health.
