The Minister said that his Department are responsible for alternative energy. Have the Department had discussions with the Department of Agriculture concerning the potential in relation to horticulture of alternative energy?

I am aware of an interest in this area and, indeed, two projects are in existence. However, it is a separate question——

It is only about the potential in relation to horticulture.

I would be happy to answer it but we were talking about wind power. In relation to Deputy Haughey's query, I do not think we should expect a lot from alternative sources of energy which are being examined at present. My own feeling is that the best potential lies in wind power. Solar energy may be feasible but I do not think there will be considerable substitution of the existing sources of energy for some time.
