I asked two specific questions that were not answered. Is the committee confident, in the absence of a moratorium, that the assurances given by the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, can alleviate fears? I know Ms Fagan referred to the next issue but maybe I did not make myself clear originally. If the Minister believes these turbines will be erected on cutaway bogs and State-owned land, why are these two companies going to the trouble of signing up options for land from over 1,000 people?
