Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I am sure everything the Senator heard from the Fianna Fáil Member must be correct. However, few Members in either House have an aversion to nuclear power that exceeds my own. I was a little late when we resumed the debate because I met the man who chaired the Chernobyl forum. I am more convinced, as each day passes, of the utter economic lunacy of nuclear power. All parties and groupings did some service to the nation when we made it illegal to generate electricity using nuclear power in 1999. I have tried, and will continue to try, to expose the fallacy of the nuclear debate. My revulsion at the notion of a nuclear power station in this State is at least as strong as the Senator's.
