lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the news from Britain that the future of the Thorp nuclear reprocessing facility is bleak is very welcome from the Irish perspective. The people of Ireland have been totally forthright in their opposition to the existence and expansion of nuclear operations at Sellafield. I have spoken on this many times in this House over the last 20 years. I have had the privilege to visit that plant on behalf of my party in Ireland on two occasions, one of which was the NIREX inquiry. However, we were particularly angered by the imposition of the Thorp nuclear reprocessing plant in 1993. The Thorp plant has long been a nuclear white elephant for the British people, but the people of Ireland have been totally opposed to it for many years, and will continue to be opposed to it. It was reported last week that operations at the Thorp nuclear reprocessing plant may cease sooner rather than later. I hope that the British Government gives the necessary clarification in this case. I urge you, Mr President, to ask the Commission to monitor this situation very closely under the powers vested in it by means of the Euratom Treaty."@en1
