Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources noting the New Scientist report in January 2015 on the dangers arising from 60 years of nuclear waste at Sellafield, the risks of explosions, serious pollution and risks to public health in Britain and Ireland; if he accepts that his proposed consideration of a nuclear power contribution to Irish energy is at best misguided and if he will instead provide the leadership necessary to utilise the expertise of the engineers in the Electricity Supply Board and elsewhere as may be necessary to prioritise the development of wave energy conversion, offshore wind, a renewable energy suitable grid and interconnectors to provide Ireland's energy needs, export renewable energy and provide jobs.
