Calls have been made for a blanket ban on windfarm developments near Clare's air traffic control radar installations. There are currently pending applications for 40 turbines in the east of the county, many of which are in close proximity to the radar station at Woodcock Hill in Meelick. Shannon Airport and AirNav Ireland have already raised concerns over the potential impacts that projects at Knockshanvo, Ballycar and Lackareagh Beg would have, with the latter granted planning permission last week. Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe says no one wants to see an accident.
