IBEC welcomes planned nuclear debate

Business lobby group IBEC has welcomed the announcement by Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan that a Joint Oireachtas Committee is to hold a public debate on nuclear power.

IBEC Director General Turlough O’Sullivan said: "No single solution exists. All options must be considered; wind, biomass, wave, biofuel and nuclear. The appropriate mix for Ireland can only be determined by an informed debate and robust economic analysis.
