"While I appreciate the constraints on the Council presidency, I really have to say that people in Britain and Ireland and, indeed, throughout the European Union will find that response to their concerns completely inadequate. I want to say once again that the UK Public Health Minister, Melanie Johnson, has revealed that a study by the UK Department of Health discovered that the closer children lived to Sellafield the higher the level of plutonium found in their teeth. This is one of the most dangerous substances known to human life – and not only human life. Ms Johnson has said that analysis indicated that concentrations of plutonium decreased with increasing distance from the West Cumbrian coast and its Sellafield nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, suggesting that this plant is the source of plutonium contamination in the wider population. This comes from the UK Public Health Minister. I would like the Irish presidency to convene a special meeting of EC experts, along with national and other experts, to assess the implications of this. That is the least that citizens will expect. I could go into the scientific data at length – reputable scientists are involved – but I shall refrain from doing so. I insist that we need a proper response from the Minister out of concern for the people involved."@en1
