Almost two hundred protesters drawn from the communities of Delvin, Coolronan, Ballivor, Killyon, Raharney and Bracklyn braved the Arctic conditions at Ballivor Bog last Saturday afternoon and at short notice, to demonstrate their ongoing opposition to the combined Bracklyn and Bord na Móna windfarms. However locally elected public representatives and TDs were not invited.
These industrial developments will result in 38 super-structures (35 x 200m Turbines and 3 x 100m windmasts) being placed throughout the area, all within view of homes as well as sites of historical significance, within 40km circumference. Up to 600 homes will be within 1000m of many of the turbines.
