OBJECTIONS LODGED. Tipperary County Council was inundated with objections to the proposal to erect a wind turbine at Rathclarish overlooking the Lingaun Valley and the Kilkenny/Tipperary border. At close of business on Friday eighty four objections had been lodged on the system with more expected to be processed when the Council staff returns on Monday. The plans of Lana Wind Development Limited are being vigorously opposed by local residents who are angry that there was no public consultation with regard to the turbine. This follows on from the Dunoair proposal to erect eight turbines on an adjacent site and residents are fearful that they will be over-run with Giant turbines.

After braving the elements of rain and wind the returning walkers were treated to refreshments and music in the hall. A break in the weather allowed the last of the walkers to enjoy the splendid views from the summit of the famous mountain and all expressed the wish that these views would remain un-blighted from wind turbines.
