Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

In May 2008 the Minister stated a new structure had been set up at European level, namely, the European high level regulatory group, and that this was a significant development in policing the safety issues surrounding the Sellafield plant and other installations on the west coast of the United Kingdom. Has this group met or does the Minister have information on the number of times it has met? What has been its level of activity in ensuring the Irish Government's concerns are being taken on board?

I understand the Minister recently received a large report from the British Embassy. Has he issued a response to the British authorities arising from that report?
