Housing 2 questions
- 2025-03-25 Deputy Richard O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage given that in 2015, the then-Minister committed that the Department would continue to liaise with the Department of Health regarding the potential health impacts of wind turbines, when the most recent dialogue took place; the outcomes; if no such dialogue has occurred, why not; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13951/25]
