Michael Kitt (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Ulick Burke's request concerning the landslide in Derrybrien, Loughrea. It has the potential to be worse than what happened in Pollatomish, County Mayo. There is great fear, insecurity and anger among the community over the way this has been handled. Not only do I agree with Senator Burke in saying that responsibility should be taken by ESB International, but I also believe that no further work should continue on this project. The idea of putting turbines on a very boggy area is wrong. The Minister should be informed of the strong feelings of this House on the way this matter has been handled.
