An Ireland South MEP is calling for legislation on nuclear power to be moved forward.
Fianna Fáil MEP Billy Kelleher says the time has come for a national discussion on the development of nuclear power.
He says Ireland can't keep pushing its people to reduce carbon emissions, when nuclear power would do that for us.
The Ireland-South representative says the rest of Europe is moving on, and Ireland is being left behind.
He says existing Irish legislation needs to be reformed to move the debate on nuclear power, forward.
