I was up there a couple of times and besides that it's an environment-friendly energy resource, I like the sight. It's kinda magnificient. But hey, brown envelopes are standard in this country.

I think the problem here is planning - the Irish authorities have demonstrated their corruption and incompetence in this regard quite spectacularly: witness all the ghost estates and holiday home developments in previoiusly unspoilt areas. We have to accept the the brown envelope and nod and wink are still alive and well. I'm sure it is possible to build windfarms in "ubobstructive" locations, but the one in the video clearly isn't. What gets me most is the utter arrogance of that gobshite Rabbitte. <br /><br />@DC3. This is the same fool who said on television when asked about FG/Labour election promises that it was expected that politicans tell lies to get into power. <br /><br />I'll be voting anarchist next time... ie not at all.<br /><br />The Gombeen Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024662128072120489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-77449737062422666482013-03-21T23:28:14.958+00:002013-03-21T23:28:14.958+00:00It's just the cultural Irish thing again of co...It's just the cultural Irish thing again of complete disconnect and lack of sincere empathy.
