I wish to follow up on the last point about wind energy regulations because I have been raising this issue for a number of weeks. Both the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach have said they are unaware or unsure and that they will take it up with the Minister who will inform us. However, we are none the wiser. More importantly, the communities that will be affected by the erection of these wind turbines are none the wiser either. These regulations have been promised for a number of months, so I appeal to the Tánaiste to live up to the commitment she gave here today. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government should provide a definitive timeframe as to when these regulations will be announced.

In an earlier reply, the Tánaiste complimented herself on getting an A grade from the Children's Rights Alliance for the construction of the schools buildings programme.
