Volume One County

I live in a quiet rural area with beautiful scenic views surrounded by a fantastic amount of historical sites which includes the Western Ossary High Crosses, the Slatequarries, the Knockroe Passage Tomb the Kilmacoliver Megalithic Tomb, Leac Na Scail and Owning Dolmens and many more sites of national importance which I believe should be protected from industrial wind turbines

Main opinion: 

The impacts of these giant wind turbines are well documented:

Visually destructive to the landscape. Noisy and obtrusive. Shadow flicker.

Health risks especially to those vulnerable such as autistic children.

Killers of the bird and bat populations. Producers of harmful Infrasound.

Detrimental to the equine industry. Devaluation of property prices.

Destroys tourism potential of the area
