Your Say: Reader's letter
L Meyers, DublinThe Green Party has attacked the international law of the sea because it allows ships to dock anywhere.
Although it may be unpalatable for us to accept ships such as the Sellafield plutonium carriers Pacific Pintail and Pacific Teal, the rights of mariners must be protected.
The Right Of Innocent Passage guarantees that law-abiding sailors can take a break or repair their ships by putting in to any port.
Life at sea can be hard enough without discrimination against some sailors because of the cargo their ship is carrying.
