As previously advised in my reply of 6 May 2015, policy responsibility with regard to planning and the legislative framework in relation to the siting of wind turbines rests with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and my Department provides advice from time to time when requested by the above mentioned Department. My Department has not carried out any research into the effects of industrial wind turbines on human health.
