@CiaranCuffe There's no such thing as 'renewable energy' in Ireland. 60 % of the 403 wind farms are on #peat bogs (90% in #Donegal) - how is that sustainable? We should be protecting our bogs not digging them up and filling them with concrete. Remember #Meenbog, #Derrybrien, #Ballycotton
In the days after my father died, she came outside the pub and sat with us on some plastic chairs and told me to get a choc ice and talked about him and life and death and was kind and dignified. An absolute lady. RIP #Derrybrien #Kilbeacanty #Galway
@Becca3Artach @whittledaway Nonsense. You cannot mitigate for nature. Nor can you save the planet by digging it up. Don't believe the hype. #Meenbog #Derrybrien
@GweebarraG @PeatlandHub @peatlandsLIFEIP What part of the Habitats Directive does Minister @EamonRyan not understand? #Meenbog #Derrybrien #Ballincollig...
"Eamon Ryan, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, who approved Bord na Móna’s partnership, welcomed the news."
This explains all now Minister @EamonRyan & why you & associated TD's have neglected species of conservation on these bogs.

@noonan_malcolm @finnvalleywind @GweebarraG Stakeholder? They tried their hardest to get government to listen in the Finn Valley but the diggers moved in, rivers were polluted, #HenHarriers were lost & #Merlin displaced.
Hypocrisy is sickening.

@noonan_malcolm Thats what is needed local farmers protecting #henharrier for generations here in #meenbog community overcome by #wind developer there was 2 pairs #henharrier then a #bogslide and the rest is history desecration on a bog #ecocide how is this told to our children.
@Holdmypint @whittledaway You have drunk the Kool-Aid if you think wind turbines on #peat bogs will enable Ireland to reach net zero but it's not surprising given the amount of advertising nonsense broadcast and published daily in the Irish media. #Meenbog #Derrybrien #Ballincollig #BrightGreenLies
It’s well past time to prioritise nature conservation. Can permitting of wind farms inappropriately sited on sensitive habitats continue to be tolerated? @NatCap_Irl @IrishEnvNet @GweebarraG @SaveMtn @greenparty_ie @BordnaMona #derrybrien #marine
Ireland has Europe’s largest concentration of wind farms on blanket bog despite concerns over the impact on our peatlands - our most important carbon sink.
We will build a detailed profile of wind farms on peatlands across Ireland. Help us here: https://t.co/cVi9PTW8k1
Ireland already has wind farm that is to be deconstructed. #derrybrien This report is of first shut-down order in France. Careful site selection & robust environmental assessment essential if more experiences like this are to be avoided. @WindEnergyIRL @Dept_ECC @DeptHousingIRL
Bird killing wind power project has to go, authorities in France say. https://t.co/hol4QxMauy
@GweebarraG Typical sneaky politics to introduce a Bill in the Seanad to stop the #Derrybrien wind plant being demolished the day before the Dáil closes for the holidays. Shame on MacDowell! Talk about trying to circumvent the law!
Bill would transfer ownership of Derrybrien wind facility to bypass rulings against it #IRL: A last ditch attempt to save the ill-fated Derrybrien wind farm was launched in the Seanad on Thursday as a new bill was tabled which… https://t.co/yJozNlJfuZ #windpower #windenergy
@adoolan34 There's a planning bottleneck because wind plant developers keep applying to dig up #peat bogs to erect industrial wind turbines. Ipso facto.
Remember #Meenbog, #Derrybrien, etc, etc.
@adoolan34 @MaryLouMcDonald Well they certainly won't get votes in rural Ireland if they push these monstrosities.
People are tortured with planning applications for industrial wind turbines on #peat bogs. #Meenbog #Derrybrien #Ballincollig...
It's State sponsored #ecocide.
@WindEnergyIRL Stop applying to build industrial wind plants on #peat bogs and Special Areas of Conservation. There is a #BiodiversityCrisis & we need these Habitats for wildlife. Remember #Meenbog & #Derrybrien.
@WatersProgramme @irishexaminer @EUWatersofLIFE @BlueDotWaters Perhaps the Irish authorities could begin by not destroying any more? @MarianHarkin @GweebarraG #Derrybrien #Lcoughcutra #Mcournebegriver
@TheClimatic @JonathanCo85007 @whittledaway The Courts are very slow. It took 16 years for #Derrybrien to go through the Courts...
@CAugustenborg @FFFireland @GretaThunberg @caroline1conroy He wouldn't get the Freedom of Donegal that's for sure. He's pushed industrial wind turbines on #peat bogs in #Donegal for 20 years, all 330 of them. Remember #Meenbog and #Derrybrien. Industrial wind turbines are not clean & not green. It's the Con with the Wind...
So we've an energy crisis, yet a fully functional windfarm with 70 turbines connected to the national grid, and is fully staffed is left idle? 🤔🧐 #Derrybrien #Galway @Galwaybayfmnews
@LorcanAllen @jfjohnston @StockNt @NewstalkFM As selection of sites for major infrastructural development is internationally known to be most important factor in avoiding potentially enormous environmental damage (#Derrybrien) & costs to taxpayers, a plan-led system, in compliance with MSP Directive (2021) is long overdue.
@Irishwildlife Don't forget #peat extraction for industrial wind turbines.
Every wind turbine in #Donegal is on a peat bog with hundreds of thousands of tonnes being excavated.
#Meenbog #Derrybrien
'Car crash' @attractaub highlights leaving MPA designation to paddy last opens tax payer to litigation (#Derrybrien of future), uncertainty in ORE development & delay successful migration to decarbonisation. #ClimateEmergency

@eliottaylor66 @pippa_hackett @europeangreens @greenparty_ie @paulinegalway @BrianLeddin @MalcolmNoonan1 @greifswaldmoor @DiannaKopansky @anbordpleanala One would hope the Habitats and Bird Directives were adhered to in Ireland but unfortunately that's not the case. The @greenparty_ie have ignored these facts to date and #Derrybrien, #Meenbog and #Ballincollig wind farm bog slides have been disastrous for the environment.
