Last week a nuclear expert in Brussels stated Sellafield was Europe's top terrorist target. This is of great concern to Irish people. Several constituents contacted me about the issue over the last ten days or so. It is important to have a debate on security at Sellafield. Since the war started it has become Europe's top target. Dublin would be within a 100 mile radius of any consequential fallout at the plant, a matter of serious concern. I demand a debate and that the Minister for Foreign Affairs tell the House what measures have been taken by the British Government to guarantee security at the plant.
