Seanad debates

Wednesday, 2 July 2003

Throughout these consultations Ireland had to rely on heavily edited consultants' reports on the economic case for MOX. The Government considered that the full versions of the reports should be made public to provide a fully transparent analysis of the purported benefits of the plant. Ireland argued that the reports did not fully consider the major disadvantages of MOX fuel manufacturing, including a completely unsubstantiated analysis of the world market for MOX fuel. Despite repeated requests, Ireland has not seen full versions of the reports as the UK claimed that the edited material was commercially sensitive.
