Nuclear Safety: Motion.
In relation to the Fine Gael amendment, the possible inspection of the Sellafield nuclear plant by Irish experts, in conjunction with appropriate independent international experts, is a matter that is currently under consideration. This issue was raised at a meeting between myself and the former UK Energy Minister, Mr. Brian Wilson, MP, in Dublin on 28 May. I anticipate that it will be followed up in the engagement between the Irish and UK authorities going forward. Accordingly, I have no difficulty accepting the addition contained in the Fine Gael amendment.
