Madam, - At last: a sane comment on the effect of Sellafield on Ireland - almost zero. My confidence in making this statement is largely based on a new book, Going Nuclear: Ireland, Britain and the Campaign to shut Sellafield,by Veronica McDermott. Before this, such sane views were held only by a handful of physicists and an even smaller handful of other people. It has been referred to several radio commentaries in the past week. Read the book yourself. - Yours, etc,
