Carol Nolan (Offaly, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Gabhaim buíochas as ucht an deis labhairt. I know the Tánaiste was involved with the draft guidelines on wind farms. When can we expect these new guidelines? I have been contacted by a number of concerned residents in communities in Laois and Offaly. There is great concern and the noise levels are of particular concern in connection with a wind farm at Garbally near Banagher. Could a moratorium be imposed until we get these guidelines? We need to be fair to communities and when tackling climate change, the Government cannot just impose something that does not respect the voices of communities and their concerns.
