To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he is satisfied with regard to the extent to which the development of alternative energy generated electricity has taken place to date; if he has identified any particular obstacles which might impede the achievement of national and European targets in this regard; if he will indicate the main sources of alternative energy currently used for this purpose; if other sources deemed to be commercially viable have been identified; and the extent to which each segment of the alternative energy sector is likely to meet its targets in electricity generation over the next four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
