Rural wrath over wind turbines and pylons

Rural wrath over the Government’s wind energy and pylons policy was expressed by around 5,000 people outside Leinster House in Dublin yesterday.

They had come from all over the country to take part in a march organised by Wind Aware Ireland which began at the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square shortly before midday.

News this week that an energy export deal with Britain was off the table did little to allay the protestors’ concerns.
