Wind farm being sued by families admits its liability

Seven Cork families could be on course to receive damages after a wind farm operator admitted liability in a High Court action over noise pollution.

The case is next listed for hearing on April 25, and will be closely observed by many of the families living in close proximity to wind farms and who claim that there should be a greater distance between homes and turbines.

The case against Enercon Windfarm Services Ireland Ltd and Carrigcannon Wind Farm Ltd was taken by the Shivnen family and another six households in Banteer including couples, families, and one single occupant.
