A chara, I wish to express my support for the BlueHorizon campaign calling for wind farms to be set back at least 22km from the Waterford coast. Offshore wind will play a key role in Ireland’s effort to tackle climate change, but the wind farms don’t have to be close to shore. I believe all wind farms off Waterford should be placed at least 22km from shore. Why 22km? Because, at this distance, according to the 'Seascape and visual sensitivity to offshore wind farms in Wales' (2019) study, the visual impact will be ‘medium’ rather than ‘major', and inshore biodiversity and fishing should be safeguarded. Thank you.
