Perhaps Mr. Blaney might help me then by outlining what agency I could raise the issue with, given that he says the commission has no role in it. This is what normally happens. One deals with a planning authority which says it does not deal with health matters and when we go to the commission, it says it is not under its remit and that it is a matter of public health. When I go to the HSE, it says it has no role in electricity generation. Everyone washes their hands of the problem. It has never been proven that there is a health risk and I do not suggest there is one but concern has been expressed and there must be information available from other countries that are more advanced in renewable energy technology and have carried out some investigation. We see the job of a regulator as being to look after the public interest. Health must be part of that. The Department of Health will say it is not a matter for it but that it is the commission’s responsibility. Who will look after the issue or to whom can Mr. Blaney direct me?
