Does the National Security Committee address the dangers to the health and safety of the Irish people from the British nuclear industry, including the site at Sellafield, and the threat that must be real from the fact that Britain is the holder of a nuclear arms arsenal? Has this matter been addressed, particularly in the context of a vote on 14 March at Westminster when the Labour Government experienced one of the largest rebellions from within its ranks since the outbreak of the war on Iraq and had to depend on Tory party support to see through its measure? Has the national security committee addressed this decision at Westminster given that Britain is intent on renewing and enhancing its nuclear arms holding? What plans does the Taoiseach have to address this matter with the British Prime Minister if it has not been addressed?
