I may be incorrect and the Deputy may be correct but I am not sure the Education (Admission to School) Bill includes provisions on school transport. He and I can both check what the position is, however, as the Bill has been published and is awaiting Second Stage.

As the Deputy will be aware, wind energy guidelines have been in place since 2006 and it is intended to publish revised guidelines. While it may not be germane to the Order of Business, I will, as a courtesy, respond to the Deputy's question. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, and I are in close contact regarding the revised guidelines, as are our respective Departments, and it is hoped and expected that they will be ready to be published shortly.
