We’re a voluntary group of local residents who are worried about the impact that developing a wind farm along the coast will have on the coastal environment.
The #MAPBill had its final stages in the Seanad today - and if it passes in the Dáil as it is, it'll be a lose-lose outcome.
We wrote to @EamonRyan & @noonan_malcolm
and asked them to defer the Bill to make sure we get this right now for both climate & biodiversity ���
Maritime Planning Bill at Committee Stage. This is the priority route for vast offshore wind with no site selection or environmental constraints. Size, scale, proximity to shore outside EU norms.

Click on the below link where you can read all of our concerns but also read our proposals. We are not a group to just give out and not provide workable solutions instead we have come together to write up proposals that are in line with those in the EU. #windturbines@NewstalkFM
Some of the proposed sand banks down the east coast. Some of these are only 6KM from shore and near 300m in height. Check out our website to read more about the devastating impact they can have and what we propose instead
