Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-01
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I am also concerned about wind turbines out in the bay and where they will be placed. If they are impacting on fishers and trawlers it would not be helpful. There are many other issues around where they are sited and of course planning will decide that. We are all for more energy and more renewable energy but it must be fair to the people who are depending on the sea for their income, in whatever way that is. I hope the Bill will not be against locals in anyway. I will be watching intently as to what happens in that regard.
