A massive wind farm project in County Tipperary is sparking controversy as its underground cables and grid infrastructure threaten to spill into County Limerick, raising alarms among local officials and residents. Limerick City and County Council question the plan’s feasibility, citing unclear grid connection details, road safety risks, environmental concerns, and potential disruption to farming and tourism. Community groups and councillors demand transparency, suggesting an alternative route along the N24, while warning the project could reshape rural life without proper consultation. Atlantic Infrastructure Renewables, the developer, says it’s in the planning phase and welcomes feedback, but remains tight-lipped on specifics.
