      Between 5km and 11.5km offshore in the Atlantic. Seems like an ideal spot to harness wind energy

      Project cancelled, our man Tommy objects a week later!

      Ridiculous it’s this exact type of crap that has Ireland in a state of building nothing.

      The entire Irish worldview can be distilled to “this would be a great thing, but it just can’t happen here for reasons.”

      Sigh indeed. Like finding out your dad is a gobshite

      I hate the way these campaigns use “Eiffel Tower sized” for this Atlantic project and “Bray head sized” for the Codling wind farm of the Wicklow cost, as if you’re going to be right up at them.

      The comparison is not wrong, but it’s disingenuous!

      We want to preserve the natural beauty of our world, and renewable energy will ruin that. Gotcha.

      At best the human eye can only see about 5km to the horizon, just for context.

    13. under-secretary4war on

      They were 5km from the shore? That’s quite a distance. Self interested Sacks.

      But it’s on the doorstep of a school lads, won’t somebody think of the children. And that poor woman who’ll have to live in flickering light from 5km away….

      Fucking lot of them can get in the sea.

      NIMBYs are such selfish, self-entitled arseholes who rarely do any research before complaining. Everyone in the comments found out in moments that the wind farm would be barely visible and yet this eejit is writing about the exploitation of beautiful Irish land 🙄

      Our legal system tends to give parity of esteem when considering the common good and individual concerns, and not just “they’re building this in my back garden”, but “they’re building this 5km offshore in my eye line.”

      We need to change that if we expect to pick up the pace on doing anything big.

      I think wind farms are great looking things and seem a viable green source of energy. 11kms out they aren’t really going to affect much and like most reasonable structures after a few months people don’t remember what it was like it was before.
      I live near the coast and have a view of our own twin towers and they are just part of the costal landscape. Personally wouldn’t bother me if there was a new wind farm built 11kms from the coast where I live.
      If they increase green energy,reduce our dependence on foreign oil and gas and potentially reduce energy costs I think I’ll quite happily look at my thumb at the end of my extended arm!

      Irish people are the worst for complaining about turbines. Working in the planning industry you hear the stupidest shit, one woman asked if we could “turn the lights off” at night. You know the ones that are there for aircraft safety 😆

    20. Grandday4itlike on

      Where do people think their future energy is coming from? NIMBY gobshite

    22. Key-Lie-364 on

      Overpowered entitled cunts – people who “you know well” and thus are afraid of their eyre are the core of the NIMBY.

      NIMBIES aren’t anonymous, they are your neighbor down the road having a strop and daring, demanding compliance to their entitled shite by way of silence from everybody else.

      If 100 people shout loudly and 1000 people “just want peace” that enables the 100 to claim a legitimacy they simply don’t have and the ridiculous “they don’t listen to us”

      Don’t pay attention to “I’m a star Tommy Tiernan” pay attention to the silent majority, the many hundreds of thousands of people who **aren’t** objecting.

      > In her objection, Paula Ní Chualáin of Maínis, Carna has told the appeals board “these turbines **will tower over us** as they will be **5km from our home**. The prospect of **constant shadow flicker** in our home which we planned to make the most of the sun and natural light is frightening”.

      > Ms Ní Chualáin said: “The silent and dark skies will be gone, replaced by 30 flashing red lights on the turbines **and the noise pollution from the blades.**”

      These NIMBYs need to quit copying and pasting their objections from Facebook posts without actually reading them, as it just makes them look even more foolish than usual.

      > The parents committee of Scoil Cholmain, Muighinis state that parents chose the school for their children for its peaceful environment, stunning landscape and strong connection to nature.

      > They state that “the introduction of industrial scale wind-turbines **directly outside the school** threaten to severely undermine these benefits”

      If I were these parents, I’d be objecting to the school’s doorstep being 5km-11km from shore; seems like that’s a rather long swim for most primary school students to be making twice a day.

      All that talk of positive energy and he seems to not be for it. Talking about it trad and Irish genius won’t move the needle on rising oceans Tommy.

    28. WolfetoneRebel on

      Ah for fuck sake Tommy, shut yer hoop. Is there genuinely not one single unselfish cunt left in the country?

    31. Logical_News7280 on

      I live in killiney next to the beach and there’s plans for wind farms to be built off the kish bank which is well within view from the shore but i desperately want this to happen. Objecting to a wind farm is moronic.

    32. Hour_Mastodon_9404 on

      It’s a bit mad how the idea of wind farms being an “eye-sore” has been allowed to prosper. They are pretty inoffensive imo, there are far uglier structures being built every day with little comment.

    35. Dr-Jellybaby on

      Can someone explain why people can even object to something 5km+ out in the fucking ocean???

      I don’t get it, surely you need to kind of interest near it to have grounds to object at all. Unless you regularly scuba dive in those areas how could you make any claim at all?
