Wind energy planning guidelines
Deputy Declan Breathnach asked when the promised wind energy planning guidelines would be published, saying communities were eager to see them. The Taoiseach said he could not give a date, explained that two Ministers were working on them, and undertook to have a report made to the House.
Finally, I call Deputy Breathnach. I am sorry for the others who wish to speak but it is necessary for the House to extend the time in order for everyone to get a chance.

We have been promised the new wind energy planning guidelines this month. When exactly will they be published? Many communities are chomping at the bit to see the new guidelines.

I cannot give the Deputy a date. The Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Naughten, is working with the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Coveney, on the guidelines. I will ask him to report to the House on the matter.
