FG slams Taoiseach's failure on Sellafield

Fine Gael has sharply criticised the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, after he revealed that Irish nuclear experts will not inspect the Sellafield plant in Britain until January at the earliest.

Mr Ahern confirmed today that a meeting between Ireland’s Radiological Protection Institute and British Nuclear Fuels, the company which owns Sellafield, has been delayed until January 14.
