Blown Away: Plans to Build 1,000 Wind Turbines in the Irish Midlands Axed

Plans to raise 1,000 wind turbines have been axed, Pat Rabbitte has confirmed.

The windfarm was due to be built in the Midlands and was part of a joint agreement with Britain.

But the Communications Minister said the controversial plans will not go ahead.

He said: “I regret that it has not been possible at this time to conclude an agreement as envisaged.

“However I believe that in the context of an European Internal Market and greater integration, greater trade in energy between Britain and Ireland is inevitable in the post 2020 scenario.”
