Wind Turbines Bill
Senator Leyden urges Committee Stage for Senator Kelly’s Wind Turbines Bill, citing harm to families near turbines; the discussion becomes a lively exchange over Labour Party influence and political rhetoric.
I suggest Senator Kelly table Committee Stage of his Wind Turbines Bill 2012. It would resolve some of the issues that he raised regarding the location of turbines next to families and their homes, particularly in Rahara, County Roscommon where a family have been badly affected.
There is a two-tier system in the Labour Party. The upper echelon comprises Senator Ivana Bacik and a few more who get their Bills through the House.

The lower echelon comprises the newcomers, the Senators who rose with the "Gilmore gale" and came from all parties and none.

From all parties and none, they were all gathered up by the gale and were blown in here.

The Senator is very ill-informed.

They were blown in and they will be blown out as fast. A gale works both ways.

I do not want to give my view of the gale. I ask Senators to bear in mind that gales can go in reverse. I ask the Deputy Leader to convince the Government to take Committee Stage of Senator Kelly's Bill as she is so persuasive.

It is hot air rather than a gale.
