Wind Farm Battle Heads to Appeal | Dublin News

A wind farm in County Wexford is locked in a legal battle after a judge ruled its turbines created excessive noise, violating residents’ right to peace — a first-of-its-kind ruling in Ireland or Britain. The company, Meenacloghspar, is appealing the decision, set for November, and has twice tried to pause the court-imposed restrictions that include shutting down one turbine during certain hours — both requests were denied. The Court of Appeal’s president emphasized the original ruling was well-considered and that pausing restrictions while the appeal is pending would be unfair. Meenacloghspar argues the High Court erred in fact and law, seeking to overturn the nuisance ruling and restore full operations. This case is part of a broader national debate on renewable energy development, amid other major legal and regulatory developments in the sector.
