Ahern and Blair to discuss Sellafield

The issue of the new MOX plant at Sellafield is expected to dominate talks between the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in Dublin today.

The two leaders will meet at a British-Irish Council meeting on drugs.

The British-Irish Council was established under the Good Friday Agreement, but today’s meeting is just the second of its kind in the three years since the agreement was signed.
