Tallest Irish wind turbines planned for East Cork

Wind turbines that dwarf the Elysian Tower and are higher than the Dublin Spire are planned for East Cork.

If the project gets the go-ahead, it will mean East Cork is home to the highest on-shore wind turbines in Ireland.

Each of the 11 turbines which form part of the proposed wind farm will measure 156.5 metres, more than 16 metres higher than those at Lisheen Wind Farm in Co Tipperary which, at 140 metres, are currently the tallest in the country.
