Sellafield issue back on Anglo-Irish agenda

The Sellafield nuclear waste reprocessing plant - which exposed major differences between the London and Dublin governments at a prime ministerial summit - will again be on the agenda at a conference involving British and Irish politicians this week.

The Cumbrian complex, which lies just 70 miles from Dublin and has long been a bone of contention with the Irish government, is on the agenda for a session of the British-Irish Interparliamentary Body, which begins in Bournemouth tomorrow.
