Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I broadly agree with the Deputy in that the time taken is longer than I would like. I was in Brussels last week on a number of different issues, and the same question was raised with me by our own MEPs. The latest information I have as a result is that the biomass REFIT is likely to emerge as early as next week, which is welcome because I am aware of a couple of tangible projects that are in the offing and others which are queued up. On the question of the renewal of REFIT for onshore wind, this might still be a few weeks down the line.
