As policy in respect of wind energy is the responsibility of the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, I have not had any discussions with the farming organisations on this issue. However, the farming organisations, and others have an opportunity during the public consultation on the Green Paper, Towards a Sustainable Energy Future for Ireland, to input into the policy process on wind energy.
