Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Sequestration and Land Management-Nature Restoration: Discussion
Mr. Niall ? Brolch?in:
We did an exercise in the west on that. It was not a comprehensive exercise. Unfortunately, quite often the best wind sites are consistent with the most pristine peatlands. We are talking about what tend to be high wind areas. In the past, some wind farms were sited on good quality peatlands. We all know of the environmental problems caused by some badly planned wind farms. It is not appropriate.
