Ceist:44 Mr. Barry asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if his Department has costed the counter-measures involved for the protection of the public in the event of a nuclear accident involving the release of radioactivity to the environment; if these costs were built into the annual Departmental Estimate or if there will be an ad hoc charge; if the counter-measures including evacuation, sheltering, restriction on foodstuffs and water supplies are logistically practicable; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
