Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Nuclear Power Plants: Discussion with Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland

3:20 pm

Dr. Ann McGarry:

All I can say on the issue is that in other countries some of the agencies similar to ours that deal with ionising radiation also deal with non-ionising radiation and have scientific experts who can advise the government on the health risks in relation to electromagnetic fields. In other countries there are scientific experts associated with bodies such as our own, but I am afraid we do not have that expertise.
