578 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the draft national renewable energy action plan states that the microgeneration pilot programme was announced in February 2009 in view of the fact (details supplied) that it was announced in April 2008; the reason this discrepancy was ignored when brought to the attention of NREAP during the public consultation period; the reason the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland could not fill the quota of 50 sites; the reason there is no monitoring equipment yet installed; the further reason the programme is so far off the schedule indicated during the consultation meeting on 30 September 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, Dublin; the reason a pilot programme run for tried and trusted technologies rather than emerging and developing ones such as ocean energy; if the major delays in the programme will affect the feed in tariff coming into line with the United Kingdom REFIT system; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
