Children First and wind guidelines

Summary

Deputy Troy asked about the remaining stages of the Children First Bill and publication of national wind-energy guidelines and the Westmeath planning review. The Tánaiste gave no firm dates, saying both matters were progressing.

We have had the initial stages of the Children First Bill in the House. When will Remaining Stages take place? Recently, and in the context of the review of the Westmeath county development plan, the Minister intervened on wind energy policy in County Westmeath, citing publication of national wind energy guidelines. When will the national guidelines be published and when will the report on the review of the Westmeath county development plan be published?

The Children First Bill is before the committee. I cannot say what the exact timeline will be. On the development issue, I understand it will happen later this year.
