Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I welcome this motion, which is an important recognition of the efforts of the Government to address the concerns of the public in relation to Sellafield. My Department has given, and will continue to give, a high priority to this issue and I would like in particular to acknowledge the commitment and effort of the Attorney General and his staff as well as officials of the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland in their prosecution of these cases. The Government remains committed to ensuring the safety of the Irish population, environment and economy from this unacceptable threat.
