    Surprised it wasn't posted already

    3 children aged 17, 15 and 10 received a combined (out of court) settlement of €225,000 over alleged illnesses caused by a wind farm situated 700m from where they lived.

    It was alleged that noise, vibration and light flicker from the farm (which went into operation in early 2016) caused nosebleeds, ear aches, skin rashes, swollen and painful hands, loss of power in their limbs, sleep disturbance, and headaches.

    They ended up moving 8 miles away.
    Their parents case has been postponed until March.

    2 things from this:
    1: I am very surprised the Energy company settled, given the claimants injuries.
    2: This is a massive hit to "Green Energy" in Ireland, every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to cite this case now in their claims against wind turbines/farms.
    Failed to load the poll.
