Listen "Wind Farms Near Flight Radar In Clare Said To Be Jeopardising Passenger Safety"
Episode Synopsis
The national planning body is said to be "flatly ignoring" passenger safety advice by allowing wind farms to be built close to flight radar in Clare.
Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has told the Taoiseach that in spite from advice from the Irish Aviation Authority, wind turbines are being granted planning permission in the vicinity of radar infrastructure.
This, he says, distorts the signal of where the aircraft are and "jeopardises passenger safety".
Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Crowe says expert advice must be heeded.
