Sir, – The muted response from the State to the imposition of a €5 million fine by the Court of Justice of the European Union is baffling ("State fined over Galway wind farm", News, November 12th; "The Irish Times view on the Derrybrien windfarm penalty: An abject failure of policy", Editorial, November 14th).
