Woman tells of shock at turbines plan

A Cork housewife yesterday told of her shock to learn two 150m-high turbines are to be built near her family home.

Geraldine Buckley, a mother of five, described the turbines, more than twice the height of Cork County Hall, as “monstrosities”.

Geraldine and husband Tadhg, who live near Charleville, fear their health and that of dozens of local families will be affected. Planning permission for the wind turbines, at Rathnacally, has been granted.
