Opposition to Kerry windfarm steps up in advance of planning deadline

Objectors to a controversial windfarm proposal in north Kerry are stepping up their campaign in advance of a deadline for planning submissions.

Hundreds of letters are also being sent to local councillors from people opposed to the 10-turbine windfarm earmarked for the Ballyhorgan and Finuge areas, near Listowel.

Gerard Doyle, chairman of the North Kerry Wind Turbine Awareness Group (NKWTAG), urged people to make submissions before the September 15 deadline.
