Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 March 2014
112. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his Department has been compliant with the Aarhaus Convention in relation to the wind energy export proposal. [12406/14]
View answerI refer to the reply to Question No. 19 of 11 March which sets out the position in relation to the renewable energy export project. The three pillars of the Aarhus Convention are access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters. Ireland has adopted the necessary legislation to implement the requirements of the Convention and ensure full compliance with it. The development of a national policy for renewable energy export is being progressed with regard to the requirements of the relevant legislation.
