Its one sided agenda, full of evil Brits cackling away, noble downtrodden Arabs, comedy culchie cops, crooked TD's. I am also staggered to learn he spent 5 years researching it, he must have been spending 20 minutes a year doing it. Frankly, I thought it was more of a Republican wet dream than a serious attempt at exploring the issues of nuclear power. No mention of Irelands record as one of the three worst compliers with environmental legislation in Europe, the fact that most of its recycled waste is done by the "evil Brits", the fact that Ireland is one of the 3 most energy import dependent economies in the developed world and it imports nuclear generated electricity, his own book and arguments are just as biased as the evil propaganda of "Brit-Atomic"! I could go on. I am sure that Mr Rice will soon return to his preferred writing medium for his next output, paper and crayon!

Nice big chemical plants near centres of population why are you fixated on the Nuclear Industry? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
