With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 1, 2 and 3 together.
The special tribunal to be established by the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Energy will consider all aspects of the proposal for a nuclear power station, including economic, environmental, safety, security of supply and other aspects.
On 26 June I made a statement to the House on the outcome of the European Council in Strasbourg and laid the Conclusions of the Presidency before both Houses. The statement gave an outline of the discussions, in so far as they can be made public, and the Conclusions indicate the decisions taken at the Council.
After the Council I said that a second nuclear power station might be required depending on the way our economy grows, our need for energy, the availability and price of oil, and other factors. That remains the position.
