Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Developments at Hinkley Point C Power Plant: Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. Paul McDonald:

I am not sure what letters have come to the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. We have engaged with some of the NGOs on this matter. I have met representatives of the organisations to explain our position with regard to the Espoo Convention and the whole issue of the new plant and the UK's new programme. There has been engagement. I cannot provide a definitive answer on letters that have arrived and not been answered. We have certainly engaged with the NGOs.
