Residents warn ten 180m-high turbines proposed for Ballyfasy which would be taller than the Spire and almost twice the Statue of Liberty could blight rural life, harm wildlife and devalue homes
Ballyfasy residents hold protest at Mac’s Cross in Ballyfasy against proposed wind farm
Residents of a rural community in Co Kilkenny say they are gravely concerned about the prospect of ten “mega” wind turbines being constructed in the area, with a number of the turbines expected to stand as close as 720 metres from a number of family homes.
Plans for a wind farm at Ballyfasy in Co Kilkenny, near Mullinavat, are currently before An Coimisiún Pleanála for review, and would see a total of ten wind turbines, at a height of nearly 180 metres each, constructed in the area, which is akin to four Croke Parks stacked on top of each other.
