Patricia Ryan (SF), Kildare South

The programme for Government contains a commitment to finalise and publish the wind energy guidelines. These have been under review since 2013 - I repeat, 2013. We must protect communities such as Rathangan, Edenderry, Derrinturn and Carbury from a 50-turbine wind farm that has been proposed by Bord na Móna. If there are to be onshore wind turbines, we must have guidelines to protect family homes and our scenic areas. When will these guidelines be published? I would please like to get an answer from the Taoiseach.
