A NEW campaign to locate all offshore windfarms at least 22km from the Irish coastline has been launched by residents of Helvick in West Waterford.
A group called the ‘Waterford Offshore Wind Awareness Group’ say they have set up the campaign on foot of a plans for a number of prospective windfarms off the Waterford coastline.
A minimum 22km distance from shore is being applied in other EU countries and the ‘Blue Horizon’ campaign says that here in Ireland we have no such restrictions at the moment and so applications are “developer led”.
Eveleen Drohan, who is a Helvick resident involved in the new campaign, spoke to Damien Tiernan on ‘Deise Today’ this morning.
