We need to update the guidelines in terms of wind energy also. The Minister is seeking to bring those forward. The Deputy's point is made in respect of biogas and anaerobic digestion. There will have to be significantly more progress in respect of anaerobic digestion into the future, given the climate action plan and the commitment therein for far more anaerobic digestion plants, but I take the Deputy's point in terms of location. One would have thought the planning guidelines and local development plans would have some sway here in respect of location. I will follow that up with the Minister.
