Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I outlined the position regarding the Foreshore Acts to Deputy Kenny for two weeks in a row. The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources was present here when I suggested that he consult with his colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, on developing an appropriate framework for offshore renewable energy resources through revision of the Foreshore Acts, taking account of provisions proposed by the committee and international best practice.
