My Department understands that the draft Meath County Development Plan 2013-2019, currently on public display from 25 May 2012 until 3 August 2012, includes an objective to investigate the preparation of a renewable energy strategy promoting technologies which are most viable in County Meath. Under the Planning Acts, the making, reviewing and varying of a development plan is a reserved function of the elected members of the planning authority for the area. I have no function in regard to the preparation of renewable energy strategies by city and county councils.
