I have also come across the issue with wind turbines. We cannot undermine the wind industry with this Bill, which would be an unintended consequence. I have briefed the Minister of State on the matter and I ask him to bring it to the attention of the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy White, because it crosses over into that area. While we all have our views on rates, this is a valuation Bill as opposed to a complete review of the rates issue, which would be a discussion for another day.
