Greens: Government not pushing to stop Mox ships

The Government is being accused of not applying enough diplomatic pressure to stop the transport of nuclear fuel through the Irish Sea.

The Green party say that Bertie Ahern’s Government is failing to use political pressure to stop the Mox cargo travelling in Irish waters.

Deputy Ciaran Cuff is warning that the movement of nuclear substances is a very real threat for Irish people especially regarding terrorist activities.

Deputy Cuff hopes that boats going out to the two Mox ships and accompanying the Rainbow Warrior will make the public more aware of the threat.
