Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2006
474 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if she has discussed with farmers’ organisations opportunities for and potential concerns of farmers in relation to wind energy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32931/06]
View answerAs 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.
