974. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht further to Parliamentary Question No. 576 of 3 July 2018, her plans to lease land holdings (details supplied) on the private market for the development of a commercial windfarm; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The land in question is an integral part of the Ox Mountain Bogs Special Area of Conservation and therefore, would not be compatible with a commercial wind farm.

I have no plans to lease the land on the private market for such a purpose.
