Go raibh maith agat. Tá brón orm mar bhí mé píosa meascaithe suas.

I wish to raise the issue of the revised wind farm guidelines. We need to make sure that communities’ rights are respected and upheld, and also that there is balance in representing the rights of communities. It should not be all one-way traffic. The revised guidelines have been promised for years, but we do need to prioritise community consultation and address householder concerns on noise and flicker levels. When will the guidelines be published? Could the Minister of State give me a specific timeline because the matter has been kicked down the road for too long?
