With all due respect, I believe wind has a part to play; I am not saying it does not. The Minister has touched on a number of areas that will contribute to wind energy but the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government has said himself the proposed revised wind energy guidelines will allow for a considerable amount of wind energy generation and will not, as the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources possibly believes, stop all wind energy generation projects in the future. How do we resolve this? It would be completely irresponsible if the Government did not resolve this before the end of this term. If there are completely conflicting views in the Cabinet, where does that leave us, my constituents and those in every other county? Every county, not just Meath, is affected by this.
