Ahenny residents demand guarantee from minister
Residents who oppose the installation of a wind farm in Ahenny, Carrick-on-Suir, have called on the minister for the environment to protect their area against what they call “the blatant vandalism of one of the country’s most ancient landscapes.”
The call comes less than a fortnight before councilliors are due to vote on the issue.

They have written to Minister Dick Roche to demand a guarantee that no wind farm be erected in the area.
