Statement From Joe Lynch - (RSF)
NUCLEAR PLANT HAS POTENTIAL
FOR VOLCANO TYPE DISASTER
The current severe restrictions on air travel and the loss to the
people, airlines, tour companies and indeed the general economy
by the Icelandic volcano eruption highlights danger of such major
disasters but also brings into focus the potential for damage from
establishments such as the Sellafield nuclear plant across the Irish
Sea, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein said today.
Joe Lynch from Beechgrove Avenue in Ballinacurra Weston in
Limerick, the RSF chairman in the south side of the city said that
while the current focus is on the fallout from the Iceland volcano
the danger from Sellafield is also a disaster waiting to happen.
There have been serious scares from Sellafield and indeed leaks
into the atmosphere of radio active material but the real danger
is from a meltdown and no one seems to be taking the potential
of such an incident seriously he said.
The fact is Sellafield is just a short distance across the Irish Sea
and if a volcano in Iceland can close all European airspace just
what would the implications be for a similar incident from a
nuclear plant?
Now is the time to draw up a major emergency plan in
the event of a spill from this British nuclear plant because
it does not have a good safety record.
There is no use waiting until a nuclear incident happens.
A plan for coping with such an eventuality must now be
drawn up and the safety of Irish people placed at the top
of the political agenda.

Pike Rovers Thrown Out Of FAI Junior Cup
A leading soccer club in Limerick is considering its legal options after being thrown out of the FAI junior cup. Pike Rovers could seek legal action in their bid to be returned to the league.
The FAI Senior council today upheld an appeal by Tipperary team St Michael's against the result of a quarter final match between the teams which was won by Pike Rovers. The decision was based on the eligibility of one player.
Pike Rovers have not ruled out the involvement of the high court, as the club committee prepares to meet later tonight.
The secretary of Pike Rovers Gerry Smith has said "no decision will be made until all club members have been consulted".

Motor Madness - Joe Lynch (RSF)
CALL FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT INSTEAD
OF MINISTERIAL MOTORCADES
The convoys of Ministerial cars speeding through urban areas
on busy roads is a potential danger to other motorists and the
practice must be curtailed, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein
said today.
Joe Lynch from Beechgrove Avenue in Ballinacurra Weston in
:Limerick said that the most recent case he came across was on
Thursday last when the 26 County Administration Justice Minister
was in Limerick.
In the mid afternoon the Ministerial convey swept along the main
Limerick to Dublin road and it was akin to a United States
Presidential motorcade, he said.
The reason seemingly why the Minister was in Limerick was to
inspect or unveil a plaque but his hurry to leave the city was only
too obvious to other road users.
In fact for such a visit surely the politicians could use the train.
At at time when the Green Party is in Government and some of
their Ministers cycle to work, the practice of these large
motorcades must be questioned.
Not only is it a waste of public money there is an inherent
danger to members of the public who are also using the
main roads.
The use of police outriders on these occasions is purely
for show and they serve no useful purpose. It is time that
the politicians came down to earth and used public
transport.
