Recent planning proposal attached for a battery storage unit in Cahirdowney. Would love to know locals’ thoughts on this.
Many communities in Duhallow have come together to stop these facilities due to their dangers.

Cahirdowney is such a beautiful picturesque valley, why do we have to ruin it with this toxic, in your face structure. Surely there are industrial sites geared for this, not plonking it, in the middle of natural wild areas, haven’t we enough wind turbines enough besides this.
There is a lot of complicated electrical and chemical engineering involved in these types of storage units judging from what I was referred to via another source this morning. Therefore it needs the input of those experts in chemical and electrical engineering in evaluating the risks and benefits of them. The unqualified who state that the dangers are this that and the other have neither the qualifications or knowledge to comment knowledgeably and very often give the impression that they are protesting from a NIMBY point of view. I also notice that climate change deniers along with vested interests in retaining fossil fuel crop up on SM quite a lot on anything to do with renewable energy or environmental protection.In summary listen to those who know rather than those who claim to know.
