Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Government has raised the issue of Sellafield with the British Government. The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government has been in touch with his British counterpart and has been in contact with the relevant authorities following the Fukushima episode in Japan. I am aware that five people have been arrested close to the Sellafield plant. I understand that they are still in detention and are being questioned. At this point, that is as much as we know about this matter.
