Group fighting wind farm developments in Waterford slam 'developer-led' recommendations

Community groups fighting against windfarm developments in their area of west Waterford have slammed setback recommendations in a Government review of wind energy guidelines as “developer-led” and likely to accentuate their concerns.

The proposals are contained in a Draft Revised Wind Energy Development Guidelines document, which invites submissions aimed at upgrading the much-criticised present 2006 guidelines.
