Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not know whether the Deputy is for or against renewable energy, given his contribution, but I reject his assertion that we are being in any way alarmist. People have every right to live where they choose and in accordance with proper planning conditions. Any application that comes in for industrial or private needs is subject to the planning process. I do not know whether the major applications here relate to the critical infrastructure process and therefore go directly to An Bord Pleanála, but let Deputy Martin not tell me that he has all the answers. I am informed there is extensive consultation with communities, people and personnel.
