Mr. R. Burke

Is the Taoiseach aware through newspaper reports of a further leak from the appalling Sellafield nuclear plant and would he like to take the opportunity to reassure the nation that he has been notified by British Nuclear Fuels, by the British Government? Would he like to make a statement in the House on this?

An Ceann Comhairle

That does not arise. The Deputy knows that we had that one day here and that got out of hand.

Mr. R. Burke

I know, but I am just asking him to reassure the House. Perhaps the Minister for Energy would like to make a statement.

An Ceann Comhairle

The same applies there.

Mrs. A. Doyle

The Deputy's party were proposing a Sellafield for Carnsore. They wanted it in Wexford.

Mr. J. Leonard

With your permission, Sir, I wish to raise on the Adjournment the subject matter of the Private Notice Question of Tuesday, 20 May.

An Ceann Comhairle

I will communicate with the Deputy.

Proinsias De Rossa

The Taoiseach indicated three weeks ago that he was looking at the question of postal voting for the disabled in the referendum, and legislation or regulations might be needed for that. Will he indicate if there is any progress in that area?

The Taoiseach

The matter is still under examination. The House is aware that there are difficulties in that making provision of this kind is open to abuse.

A Deputy

It can be done in the Bill today.

An Ceann Comhairle

It can be raised on the Bill.

Mr. R. Burke

There is a Bill immediately following this which could provide the facilities.

The Taoiseach

The Deputy raised a question about regulations.

Mr. R. Burke

It can be brought under the Bill.

Mr. V. Brady

Let me ask the Taoiseach if the Minister responsible is making any effort to intervene in the threatened strike of Dublin Corporation workers on Monday next which will cripple emergency services in this city.
