Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not just a case of protection but of striking a balance between acceptance of wind energy as a component of dealing with our energy needs and avoiding undue intrusion on communities. Discussions about striking that balance are ongoing between the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment and I am not sure about the current state of those discussions. I hope they can conclude quickly and I will advise the Deputy when I am apprised of the position. It is an important matter for many communities.
