Dairy farmer's 'grave concerns' over effect of proposed 'skyscraper' wind turbines on animals

Padraig O'Brien with his sons
A dairy farmer has expressed his “grave concerns” over the impact that proposed “skyscraper” wind turbines may have on his animals.
Padraig O’Brien, a farmer in Co. Waterford, said he and his family are “vehemently opposed” to Lyrenacarriga Wind Farm in west Waterford and east Cork.
The developers, Curns Energy Ltd – a joint venture between RWE Renewables Ireland (formerly Innogy Renewables Ireland) and Highfield Energy – plan to erect 17 150m-high industrial wind turbines in the area, with a “large substation and battery storage facility on the Youghal water supply”.
‘These huge monstrosities’
O’Brien lives and works “right in the heart of the proposed wind farm”.
