Go nuclear?
Sir, – Ireland stands at a critical juncture in its climate action journey. Our national emissions reduction targets are ambitious – and increasingly unattainable. The Environmental Protection Agency warns that we will only achieve a 29 per cent reduction by 2030, falling dramatically short of our 51 per cent commitment under the Climate Act. I wonder if, or hopefully how many, of Ireland's population will consider how a proportion of nuclear energy, delivered through one of the recent interesting types of small modular reactor, could greatly improve our situation? – Yours, etc, ANNE BAILY (Dr) READ MORE Co Tipperary.

But I am so overwhelmed with horror of Israeli horrors in Gaza I must at least try. What people can do to each other is so horrific I wonder, not for the first time, if humans should be on the Earth at all. – Yours etc. ANNE BAILY (DR) READ MORE Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary
