PRESS RELEASE

A Windfarm/Pylon/Substation Protest rally will take place in Dublin on the 15th of April, says Andrew Duncan spokesperson for the Lakelands Windfarm Information Group one of the organising groups.
The rally organised by concerned communities from all parts of island of Ireland is in response to the Governments Renewable Energy Policy which will transform and industrialise vast swathes of the country with Industrial Wind Turbines, Ancillary Pylons and Substations.
The level of concern nationally is clearly demonstrated by the 35,000 submissions to the pylon review and the over 7500 submissions into the process to establish new wind energy guidelines. In Westmeath alone recently over 6000 submissions were received by Westmeath County Council seeking adequate set back distances of at least 10 times overall height from homes to the nearest wind turbine
Windfarm/Pylon and Substation protestors will meet in Parnell Square on the 15th of April at 11 Am. Buses are leaving from dozens of venues throughout the country and a very large attendance is expected.
Buses to the Protest from various locations please refer http://www.lwig.net/protest.htm
