Absolutely fantastic news for Lixnaw Wind Aware and the people of Lixnaw who fought against this monstrosity of a development in their locality.
Another victory for rural Ireland. 👏👏

This article presents opposition to wind farms as 'reactionary, opportunism' and 'anti-renewable sentiment'.

There may be something to this but it is minor, and it leaves out other causes for opposition that should not be so easily dismissed. Here are some: 1/7

On 4 July 2022 a peat landslide occurred at the site of a windfarm under construction in Shetland, north Scotland. There is a remarkable video of the landslide in motion:- https://t.co/QbqHOzkdA6 Another, unrelated, peat landslide occurred in Shetland yesterday.

@NoonanJoe To make good law, first you must understand what you are trying to change, I suggest that not one member of this government has any idea of the problems with planning and compliance with Irish and EU law. When so many cases are being lost, would it not be better to find out why.

[notoderryaddwindfarm @notoderryadd]

We've said it time and time again, everything in this world has it's place, to construct a wind farm on bogs is ten steps backwards for one step forward. It just does not make sense.

[notoderryaddwindfarm @notoderryadd]

Absolutely shocking proposal this evening from BNM for the Derryadd bogs. From a company thatspeaks of a brown to green transition this is unbelievable what's planned. A blow of the highest order to biodiversity.

[Dr Paula Byrne @pbyrne82]

Does ‘increasing access to renewable energy’ translate as ‘undermining the planning & democratic process’ @EamonRyan ?

[Campaign Pro Rur Ire @pro_rur_ireland]

Irish grid already so saturated with wind capacity we pay @WindEnergyIRL developers to shut down in high wind.Could it be any more obvious adding even more windfarms is madness?? Basic stuff @FineGael @fiannafailparty @greenparty_ie

[Irish Wildlife Trust @Irishwildlife]

'Strict protection', i.e. where no extractive activities are allowed, is desperately needed for sensitive habitats like ancient forests and blanket bogs
