Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the setback figure that was used relative to residential dwellings for the modelling that confirms Ireland's onshore wind capacity to be 9GW; if that calculation was based on a 500-metre setback, as is the case in Kilkenny; if not, if it was calculated based on a setback of four times the tip height of a turbine which equates to a setback of 720 metres; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
