Dear Mr. Greene,

I refer to your email requesting comments on Sellafield. The Irish Government is using every diplomatic, political and legal route available to bring about the safe and orderly closure of the Sellafield plant. Ireland’s concerns in respect of the continued operation of the Sellafield complex are regularly reinforced by the poor ongoing safety record at Sellafield and more recently by the serious incident at the THORP Plant in April 2005.

Yours sincerely,

Congratulations on your web site. The Green Party was the first political
party to call for the closure of Sellafield. This demand will be a key one
in our forthcoming election manifesto. Keep up the good work.Regards
