I thank Mr. Duff for his presentation. Before I hand over to members I would like to ask a question. As he mentioned, there is a huge anti-nuclear sentiment in Ireland. That is the elephant in the room and there is no point avoiding the matter. This week the UK proposed that it would build a power plant at Hinkley Point. An Taisce is seeking a judicial review of the project even though it shall be located in another country. What would be the reaction if it was proposed to build a nuclear plant here? Obviously Government policy opposes the idea, as stated by Mr. Duff earlier. Before I hand over to members, I ask him to refer to the task faced by his organisation.
