There is a great deal of public interest across the midlands on the topic of wind energy and wind turbines. It is a highly controversial issue as the Tánaiste may know from the media. There has been very little public consultation with communities on the issue. Will the EirGrid Bill that is coming before the House deal with these issues? My colleague, Deputy Penrose, is bringing forward a Bill on wind turbines. When can we expect to see these two Bills come before the House?
