Minister moves to ease safety concerns about turbines.

The Energy Minister says wind turbine technology is safe despite a number of incidents across the country. 

A blade came off one turbine in Kerry and investigations by the Health and Safety Authority and the manufacturer are underway.

There are numerous windfarms in operation in Tipperary; however, none of the incidents have occurred in the Premier County.

Alex White told the Dáil this morning that while he's aware of a handful of incidents, he's confident that wind turbines are safe.
