I am explaining what it relates to. The wind energy guidelines have been repeatedly requested and have been repeatedly promised by the Government.

It is all hot air.

Thousands of submissions have been made in this regard.

The Deputy has made his point.

Residents are petrified that new applications-----

The Deputy can table a Topical Issue matter and I will consider it.

-----will be made in the absence of the new guidelines.

Is the Deputy listening to me?

I am.

I have said that he should table a Topical Issue matter.

I want to know from the Taoiseach-----

I will consider it.

I have spent weeks asking the Taoiseach when the new guidelines will be published.

I know.

Every time the Taoiseach responds, he says that he will get his office to correspond with me or that he will report back to me at a later stage.

If the Deputy tables a Topical Issue matter, we will get an answer for him.

People are none the wiser on when these guidelines will be published.

The Deputy's time is up.

Perhaps the Taoiseach will make us the wiser this morning.

I will.

Ask Donie.

I will make Deputy Troy the wiser. There is no conclusion to the debate and the discussions on the new wind energy regulations. Rather than writing to the Deputy, I will inform him myself when a conclusion is reached.

In what year will that happen?

What about the statutory instrument?

I do not think too many people in the midlands will find this funny.

We know what the Deputy is playing at.

Will the Deputy go back to his constituency and laugh at them?

The Deputy is playing politics with the local community.

Would the Deputies mind having some respect for the Chamber, please?

Sorry, a Cheann Comhairle, but he just irritates me.
