401 Deputy Simon Coveney asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will clarify his policy on peat as a fuel source in electricity generation, in the context of a recent An Bord Pleanála refusal of a 100 MW electricity generation station in Killala, County Mayo, in which the sole reason for refusal was that using peat as a power source contravenes policy; and if the consequence of this decision is that policy is to prevent peat fuel content in any new energy generating project.
