  Not clear there is public appetite for nuclear energy in Ireland despite fuel crisis, junior minister says

 It is “not clear” that public
opinion is in favour of removing a ban on the development of domestic
nuclear power plants for electricity in Ireland, the Dáil has been told.
Junior minister Timmy Dooley said there were no plans for the development
of nuclear power, including small modular reactors, as part of Ireland’s
electricity system. Two separate legislative bans prohibit the development
of nuclear fission for electricity generation and “would need to be
replaced as a first step,” he said.
