Dear Department of Energy and Climate Change,
I understand that there is an agreement to facilitate visits to
nuclear sites in Sellafield by representatives of An Garda Síochána
na hÉireann (Irish police) and to promote liaison between the Civil
Nuclear Constabulary and An Garda. This agreement between the
governments of the United Kingdom and of Ireland appeared to have
been drawn up some time in 2009 or 2010.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, would you please provide

Sincerely,
Dr Kaihsu Tai

From “The State of Security in the civil nuclear industry and the effectiveness of security regulation April 2008 to March 2009: A Report to the Minister of State for Energy, Department of Energy and Climate Change by The Director of Civil Nuclear Security” by Health and Safety Executive Nuclear Directorate (Division 5) Office for Civil Nuclear Security: “24.
Liaison with an Garda Siochana. Since March 2005, an agreement has been in place between the UK and Ireland whereby a Superintendent from an Garda Siochana, the police service of the Republic of Ireland, fills a liaison role with the CNC. Apart from routine liaison, the Garda Superintendent may visit the CNC’s Operational Unit at Sellafield in order to provide him with opportunities to promote Irish confidence in, and understanding of, security measures at Sellafield. Whilst there are sensitivities about UK protectively marked material, every effort is made to encourage the success of this liaison. During this reporting period, the Garda Superintendent made two visits to Sellafield.”

“There is no written agreement in place to facilitate An Garda Síochána na hÉireann visits to Civil Nuclear Constabulary Operational Unit at Sellafield.
“However, visits by An Garda Síochána na hÉireann do take place in order to provide an opportunity to promote Irish confidence in, and understanding of, security measures at Sellafield.
“The Director of the Office for Civil Nuclear Security, as the UK’s designated competent authority, publishes an annual report on the state of security in the civil nuclear industry and the effectiveness of security regulation which explains the arrangements in rather more detail including the number of visits made per year.
