PQ 557
559 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 309 of 9 June 2009, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that semi-State companies under his aegis have many years of highly accurate measured wind data at various heights above ground that would provide a much more accurate assessment of wind resources than a publication referred to in this reply (details supplied); if he plans to ensure data in relation to wind resources are made available to local and regional authorities in order that the resource will be assessed as accurately as possible; if he will support rational planning decisions based on the most accurate information available about our wind resources and that the public interest in our natural resources and transparency are of paramount importance relative to any possible commercial sensitivity of the wind data in the possession of semi-State companies under his aegis; if he will direct agencies under his aegis to make wind data in their possession available to local and regional authorities engaged in wind resource assessment for the purposes of their development plans; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
