Sceirde Rocks Offshore Wind

I am concerned by the lack of transparency and meaningful consultation with the public so far in the site selection for this project. I want Galway County Council to seek an independent Environmental Impact Assessment for this project once the planning application is submitted.

I think the Community Benefit Fund being offered is an insulting amount of money for the potential damage to the local ecosystem and for the wealth that offshore wind will generate for Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) and the Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan.

I want assurances that any future wind project developments in the region will provide cheaper electricity rates for households and small businesses and will not be just for the benefit of data centres.
