M J Nolan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

Deputies are living in a fantasy if they believe we will ever reach a stage where someone will guarantee zero risk. In no project, be it road building, railways or telecommunications, would anyone say there is zero risk involved. I know this because we experience the same problems every time we want to build wind farms. Locals object and say there will be problems or difficulties due to radiation. There will be a risk in everything we do, but all we can do is try to reduce the risk involved.
