An Irish campaign against the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant has finalised its plans to bombard the British Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales with protest postcards.
In the coming weeks millions of cards will be sent across the Irish Sea expressing concerns at the possibility of pollution, terrorist attacks or accidents at the Cumbrian nuclear power plant.
Over the weekend 1.3 million pre-paid postcards will be dlelivered to every home in the Republic as part of a campaign backed by the Government.
Another 2.7 million cards will be on sale across the country and everyone will be urged to send one calling for the plant's closure.
The cards come already addressed to Mr Blair, Prince Charles and Mr Norman Askew, the head of British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL), which runs Sellafield.
All cards posted in the Republic will be collected by the postal service and delivered on April 26th - the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Ms Ali Hewson, wife of U2 rock star Bono, who is heavily involved in the campaign, said Sellafield was pumping two million gallons of radioactive liquid waste into the Irish Sea every day, making it the most radioactive sea in the world.
"Now, we can actually send the weight of everybody's concerns right through the front door of 10 Downing Street and on to Tony Blair's desk.
"I think people in Ireland are more aware of what could happen if there was an accident than people in England.
"The Irish are really angry and fed up with Sellafield and with the English Government refusing to listen to our concerns," she said.
The postcards being sent to Mr Blair will show an eye and carry the message: `Tony, look me in the eye and tell me I am safe'.
Another shows a set of human lips calling on Mr Askew to "tell us the truth".
The third, addressed to Prince Charles at St James's Palace, shows an image of Ireland suffering the fallout of a nuclear disaster at the plant.
