Reception UN Chernobyl
Statement by Kathy Ryan, Chernobyl Children International, Reception “Rarely does a single word become so powerful, that it can tell the story of a million lives. Chernobyl is one such word.” This is Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan endorsing the International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day earlier this week. For many of us here, the adoption of this day of commemoration is the culmination of over 3 decades of work. This day will be our legacy to the generations of people who have been, and will continue to be, affected by the world’s worst nuclear disaster. Thank you, Ambassador Dapkiunas, and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Belarus to the United Nations, for the coordination of these important commemorations. Adi Roche and Ali Hewson wish they could be here, but they are in Belarus right now with a team of medical volunteers, and in Ukraine tomorrow. Also this week, our convoy will deliver aid throughout Belarus, and a team of international cardiac surgeons will save children’s lives in Kharkiv, Ukraine. This exhibition is a great reflection of both the human and environmental impact of the disaster. While we rightfully celebrate the healing power of compassion, compassion is not enough. We must remain vigilant in our commitment to ensure that Chernobyl becomes progressively safer. A sobering thought: While the decrepit sarcophagus has been confined, 180 tons of radioactive material is still rumbling inside, material that will be toxic for the next 3000 years. The international community must prioritize the environmental and technological challenges of dealing with this deadly legacy. -

Chernobyl Disaster to the Students, a Devastating Explosion That Occurred in Reactor 4 in 1986
Talk with Adi Roche The TY students of Loreto were very lucky to receive a talk from Adi Roche, an Irish anti- nuclear advocate who has inspired millions. This talk was organised with the help of Ms. Pheasey. On the 24th of February at 12 o’ clock, Adi sat in front of over 100 Loreto TY students digitally. The pupils were waiting to be inspired by her powerful words and she did not disappoint. Adi started her speech off explaining to the girls about her passion of the Earth and how she was amazed by its incredible beauty. She went on to say how we can all get overwhelmed by the negative messages and tragedies we hear on social media on the news. Every day, we hear so much despair and darkness in our daily lives and how this can lead us to feel numb and helpless to the things we hear, making us believe that there is no solution. Adi emphasised that when we feel like this, to “remember the power of the human spirit” and that we can bring greater hope to the next generation. Adi then commented on the generosity of the Irish spirit and how every Irish generation produces groups of people who have a burning passion to work with and reach out to people in need around the world. “Our World is a living entity”, Adi stated and explained that while looking at Earth from afar, you could see no boundaries, conflict, damage, or war. She told us that this realisation had awakened her to the complexity of our planet. -

The European Parliament
The European Parliament Kristin Archick Specialist in European Affairs May 19, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21998 The European Parliament Summary Between May 22 and May 25, 2014, the 28 member states of the European Union (EU) will hold elections for the next European Parliament (EP). The Parliament is a key EU institution that represents the citizens of the EU. It works closely with the two other main EU bodies, the European Commission (the EU’s executive) and the Council of the European Union (also known as the Council of Ministers, on which the national governments of the EU’s 28 member states are represented). Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) serve five-year terms, and have been directly elected since 1979. The next EP will have 751 seats. Once limited to being a consultative assembly, the EP has accumulated more power over time. Experts assert that the EU’s latest effort at institutional reform—the Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on December 1, 2009—has increased the relative power of the EP within the EU considerably. The EP now shares legislative power with the Council of Ministers in most policy areas, giving the EP the right to accept, amend, or reject the vast majority of EU laws (with some exceptions in areas such as tax matters or foreign policy). The Lisbon Treaty also gives the EP the power to decide on the allocation of the EU budget jointly with the Council, the right to approve or reject international agreements, and greater decision-making authority on trade-related issues. -

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Mr Charles Flanagan T.D Op Ed For
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Mr Charles Flanagan T.D Op Ed for the first United Nations designated International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day Published in The Sunday Independent, 23 April 2017 Rarely does a single word become so powerful that it can tell the story of a million lives, but Chernobyl is one such word. Next Wednesday, April 26, marks the first UN International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day. It is important that this disaster and its victims be remembered. Indeed, those affected by the 1986 explosion continue to need support in their journey towards recovery and sustainable development. The number of individual lives affected by the disaster is staggering. More than 300,000 people were displaced and thousands suffered severe health effects. Were it not for the work of some 600,000 people to prevent further fallout and clean up contaminated areas, the effects would have been far worse. We are heavily indebted to them. More than 30 years later, a large exclusion zone still exists around the former nuclear power plant, a wilderness that is a stark reminder of the long-term damage caused by the disaster. Ireland has contributed over €8 million to the international Chernobyl Shelter Fund to help secure the site. A crucial objective has been the installation of a structure, roughly twice the size of Croke Park, to isolate what remains of the reactor and the unstable sarcophagus surrounding it. A symbol of the lasting consequences of the explosion, this structure is expected to become operational later this year. The ultimate challenge, however, will be the safe disposal of the radioactive material within. -
