West Cork locals plan action to halt building of giant wind turbines

A public meeting is to be held in a rural West Cork community tomorrow night as locals discuss growing fears about the planned construction of a cluster of giant wind turbines near their homes.

Planning permission has been sought for the construction of six wind turbines, 131m in height, in Barnadivane, between Coppeen and Terelton.

However, locals believe that even more wind turbines are in the pipeline for the area, and have formed a support group to fight the planned development.
