Two years ago Minister McConologue allocated 25 million to develop the harbour at Rossaveal for transport of off shore wind turbines. This week after a High Court Challenge the project was stopped. It was granted permission in 2028 without any compliance with the Habitats Directive. It was not completed after 5 years and sough an extension of another 5 years. Peter Sweatman brough a legal challenge and the Council caved in.
The general reaction is consternation but I say its the law and I am glad to see the law enforced. Now it may have to be demolished. The proper procedure is an SEA for the plan or programme for the national plan and EIA and AA under the habitats Directive. All appears to be by passed.
Meanwhile a Tipperary man Sean Meehan is been ordered to demolish his tigeen.
