Wind farm legislation
Deputy Troy asks whether the Government will introduce Seanad legislation on wind farms amid pending midlands applications; the Minister says no legislation is promised and directs him to pursue the policy through a parliamentary question.
The Minister will be aware that his colleague, Senator Kelly, brought forward legislation in the Seanad to deal with the wind farm issue. Does the Government have plans to introduce that legislation in the House, especially in light of the numerous applications pending to erect wind farms in the midlands? Does the Government have a policy in this regard?
