Wind energy guidelines

Summary

Barry Cowen asks whether ministerial differences over wind-energy policy have been resolved and when revised guidelines will be published, prompting criticism that Fianna Fáil had signed the existing arrangements.

I will be quick. Will the Tánaiste enlighten the House if the differences between the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Alex White, and the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, have been resolved and when we might have publication of the guidelines for wind energy projects?

That was a long time ago. That is why the Government should amend them.
