1. I observe that it's not appropriate to charge for people to ask questions / make observations / object to this gateway planning application PA01.315365 . I call it a "gateway planning application" as, if granted, it would open the door, irreversibly, to another 35 giant wind turbines, innumerable 60 mtre high pylons (with no guidelines for those from people's homes) and the little talked about substation, which are fully evidenced as admitting radiation that is fully evidenced to be harmful to human health. 2. The infrastructure for this application will inevitably provide the access for the upcoming applications. This includes some serious ,but not yet identified threats to my home and it's value in particular. The maps have not yet been made public of the siting of the 7 proposed turbines nearest us, but I know there will be a serious impact as I have already been approached by the company. They said because I am only 720 metres from the proposed turbine, that are offering 5000 euro per house and would cover legal costs for advice. They even asked for my solicitors contact details. 3. Juxtapose this against a property valuers professional opinion that homes, as soon as planning for a windfarm is granted , lose half their value. In fact, no-one is looking for a home near a windfarm and we would not be allowed to sell without disclosing that you have granted permission for such a development. 4. I further make the observation that the map I was shown was very obscured by Coilte forestry, and I ask you to look closely at how coilte management has removed a lot of the influence and decision making capacity from the people living here. 5. We have been made aware that 2 local roads, at least, will have to be completely stripped of their hedgerow habitat (three quarters of all birds, bats, pollinators and biodiversity in general are lost around wind farms/factories too) and equipped to carry trucks of 83m long,for even the blades of the turbine. We have seen the damage done by these major groundworks in other parts of the country. I ask you to refuse this application and dismiss it out of hand. The risks of subsidence and landslide, down on top of the 130 homes in the vicinity of these turbines and the 320 homes in the vicinity of the proposed Castlewarren development isn't an unfounded fear. You must consider your responsibility for what happened with Amazon's development, which was approved to offset their huge use of power, under the pretext of renewable green energy, 6. A simple calculation shows how completely contradictory to our EU commitments these turbines are. Each one covers a span of 4 acres, which will mean 172 acres squared of land laid waste , where nothing will grow. Worse than that, a huge level of quarrying would be required to hold these vast structures up, and tens of thousands of tons of concrete, which An Bord Pleonala must know is considered the least environmentally defensible material. Even a cursory look at what happens to turbine parts shows that they only have a life span of 20 years and, because blades cannot be recycled, they are disposed of in already desertified countries. 7. I observe that An Bord Pleanala are not in a position to make a decision on wether to build these windfarms. The guidelines you have were established in 2006, in assessment of turbines half the size. This is significant because turbines of this size have never been built on land before and the companies that are applying are aware that in the countries where their companies are based, they would not be allowed to build them so close to homes. Again, the corporations applying and set to profit, know the safe guidelines and yet are only being asked to submit an environmental impact report, in the knowledge that the current government is zoning huge areas of land for wind and promising 100% renewable energy, guaranteeing successful applications, 8. You must not give permission in this instance because this company is only a broker who will sell on the planning permission and, therefore will have no accountability if it's built. An Bord Pleonala will only be in a position to make a decision once Eamon Ryan implements the new guidelines of minimum distance from homes that was discussed more than 6 years ago. 9. I inform you that there is a specific reason why this application has gone straight to An Bord Pleonala , rather than the Kilkenny County Council planning office. At our fraught and regular and well attended community meetings about how to stop the destruction of our community, many elected councilors have come to support us. They unanimously voted against the zoning of Kilkenny for wind power when they were asked to contribute to the county plan. I believe that bypassing the elected representatives on a development that was seen to do so much harm to the people was unlawful . We do not consent. 10. To elaborate on the harm that wind turbines do to the health of humans and animals; studies point to a disturbance and coagulation of the blood and deformities in infants . Ignorance or insufficient research on the part of the planning authority will not detract from your responsibilities, should these very real problems come to light down the line. Also the constant but irregular sound prevents the function of the circadian rhythm which means interrupted sleep and not being able to go to sleep, leading to impaired immune system and development. I hope you are not going to go against the Supreme Court ruling that determined that wind turbines certainly cause harm and a loss of wellbeing to people, it was only a question of degree. Furthermore, they said that health problems developed long before work started as the sense of injustice and powerless to protect their families or the value of their home did damage. 11. These corporations have been working on their applications for years and yet people are given 6 weeks and a fifty euro fee to study the application and object. This is your job to investigate and protect people. It would go against the Constitution, which says you cannot harm the people. 12. Any decision to grant planning permission to a foreign company that could claim compensation if Ireland regails on it, should only be made based on your early and thorough research into the harm they do and may do, Therefore the decision should be made to block these and future applications. 13.If Gaeltec are granted planning permission and sell it to EDF, the French equivalent of the ESB, who are applying a few kilometres away for the they will have no incentive to make them efficient ( wind turbines are known to run at 30% efficiency maximum, if it is even agreed that they generate at all) as the next thing is selling French nuclear power to people living in Ireland. These are dangerous and unnecessary industries when individual homes can produce enough power, with a fraction of the cost and destruction to the environment. 14. The social fund they are proposing, nor the development will not secure power for any homes in the area and the figure of 60 million has been calculated as estimated loss of value of property extracted from the area, if you grant permission. 15. You are responsible, we are relying on you to say no

Abbot Laboratories in the dock, RTE Representing Them
What RTE says: Abbot bring 800 jobs, have been in éiRe for 75 years and want planning permission for a green field site. But a cursory glance at their violation track record and have they been sued before? uh, yep! 700 million dollars in HealthcareViolations, fraud, Environmental Violations, Government Contracting .... And paying doctors to implant their vascular products. And for Employment Discrimination.
Violation Tracker Abbot Laboratories
"Plant Shutdown
In February 2022, Abbott recalled baby formulas from the market and shutdown their Michigan plant. This is after complaints of infants being sick with serious bacterial infections while consuming formula product made at the Sturgis plant. The recall has caused nationwide shortage of formula milk with at least 73% of baby products out of stock according to data firm Datasembly. In a recent development and with Abbotts' meeting the initial requirement of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the facility could start operation and begin production of other special and metabolic formulas in 2–3 weeks time."
In 2021, two of Abbott Laboratories' subsidiaries, Arriva Medical LLC and Alere Inc, had to pay $160M to resolve claims that they had fraudulently billed Medicare for glucose monitors. Supposedly, Arriva used free glucose monitors to entice patients into placing more orders, then took kickbacks on the increased sales. The company was also accused of charging Medicare for glucose monitors given to ineligible patients, including patients who were dead"
Do we want jobs like this?
This is what one member of staff had to say in a letter to the food and drugs authorities:
- The Falsification of Records – On multiple occasions, and in various ways, records have been knowingly falsified. In most but not all of the situations, information of a material nature was not disclosed. This included testing seals on empty cans; signing verifications without adequate knowledge; understating or inaccurately describing events so as to limit or avoid oversight; issuing certifications of projection pages bereft of pertinent data; shipping packages with fill weights lower than represented on the labels; failing to maintain accurate maintenance records; and prematurely removing holds in the absence of all requisite approvals.
- Releasing Untested Infant Formula – The Sturgis site performed a time code removal after the discovery of microorganisms (“micros”) in a batch of infant formula. The remaining portion of the batch outside the time code removal was released without additional testing. On another occasion product was not re-called from the market even after management became aware of a nonconformity (“NC”).
- The 2019 FDA Audit – Active efforts were undertaken and even celebrated during and after the 2019 FDA audit to keep the auditors from learning of certain events believed to be associated with the discovery of micros in infant formula at the Sturgis site.
- Clean-in-Place Staffing and Practices – The Sturgis site has continued to permit lax practices associated with clean-in-place (“CIP”) procedures. The Sturgis site failed and continues to fail to have staff in place with sufficient training and experience to review CIP charts. Nor are CIP charts regularly reviewed prior to the release of a batch. CIP checklists do not require signatures of those performing the tasks and are not otherwise subject to audit by QS staff.
- Failure to Take Corrective Measures – The Sturgis site has repeatedly failed to undertake reasonable measures to reduce natural or unavoidable defects to the level feasible as mandated by the current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”). Deficient testing procedures known to be prone to causing mistakes have not been corrected. The Sturgis site continues to rely on staff with insufficient training and experience to interact with third-party labs (“TPL”).
- Lack of Traceability – The Sturgis site has ongoing problems associated with the traceability of its products. The automatic labeler frequently failed to work properly and led to significant difficulties in retracing product. QS staff never knew with certainty if an affected pallet was retrieved.
Is our county vet a match for this corporation? Bear in mind, the same county vet wanted the major dog pound contract to go to the knacker's lorry, with no address in Ireland who get paid twice over as they could invoice for live and carcass, collection and disposal.
Anyway, if you think there are some important points made here that Kilkenny or Donegal Councils should consider and block planning permission, please copy and paste and send this on.

Even a Bite To Eat is Now Political
In addition, I have got my place organic certified:
Outdoors is certified for the Crops and indoors for the Meals on Wheels.
The story so far has been ground breaking, in the most brilliant and literal senses of the word.
This is a map of the hundreds of 5G masts erected in the lockdown, no planning permission required or risk assessment. Time to serve notice on the Head of Irish Broadband? Talking of new technology. This was our take on what is coming down the line at us from the pharmaceutical companies:
Possible conversion with no new angle grinding needed?
I vested a lot of months work into this website a couple of years ago but giving it all up to live in private now. I still offer the occasional accommodation, piano lessons and meals on wheels but focussing more on the energy clearing to help the rise in consciousness and provision of food security for the future.
We only have well dressed, sovereign men and women at our garden!And this is our collective approach! So amazing what can be done when people unite and enjoy themselves.

Why was there no referendum or consent asked for 5G
So last week, I wrote to the members of NPHET and this week I am writing to Connect, the lesser known group of lunatics (including the minister for the environment) who are approving and implementing new technologies like they are going out of fashion - regardless if they might mean the destruction of all nature and, yes, that includes us.
Wifi Masts Ireland -1000s of them despite cancer clusters and the end of biodiversity |
The letters go something like this:
I am writing to you in a personal capacity, to say that I am holding you personally responsible and accountable for your oversight of, participation in, and contribution to the Connect group who have allowed new technology to inundate Ireland (Map attached), with no health or environmental research or independent health studies conducted or reviewed by different bodies here. There were no risk assessments, public health studies, or cautionary principle-staggering of implementation. This meant effects could not be monitored or the roll-out stopped if there were unforeseen adverse events (as documented in the "Resonance, Beings of Frequency" documentary at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFR5EtO_zdM, which I would hope you are familiar with. Nor was there a control group established (wifi-free area and population) for the experiment. You approved the rollout during the lockdowns of the pandemic, making it impossible to distinguish which health issues related to which contamination or stressor.

What Light Is There At The End of The Tunnel of A Difficult Relationship With The ESB?
Day One Off Grid
Thankfully I'm quite enlightened already, well emanating something at least! |
It happened quite unexpectedly in the end. I was suddenly kicked off the electricity grid yesterday - a Sunday afternoon at 3pm; no office to call, and an hour before darkness. I couldn't believe it. I had asked for 'them' to come and take their meter away 2 months ago. Then I thought better of it as the prospect seemed inevitably cold and I hadn't followed it up.
Telling The ESB: I don't need you anymore!
Highs and Lows of Day One
Why go off grid?

Only the 44 individual NPHET members can be held to account so let's hold them to account
I am writing to you in a personal capacity, to say that I am holding you personally responsible and accountable for your participation in, and contribution to the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET)
There is already a criminal case for misconduct in public office, gross negligence and manslaughter, that has been accepted by the International Criminal Court: Ref 6029679/21. I have an outline of the 12 points made in their response to claims from other Irish citizens, if you would like me to forward it.
So please consider this a kindly message offering an eleventh hour opportunity to strongly oppose the mandate of vaccines and ask for the rollout to be suspended. Ignorance of 1) what is in the vaccines will not protect you. These are the first drugs to ever come on the market, let alone be widely administered, where their active ingredients are not in the public domain. Even under Freedom Of Information requests, they were protected for ‘commercial reasons’. This means that we cannot test drinking water to make sure we haven’t contaminated not only our blood but also the future health of all generations (and, of course, only the company producing them can test for and vouch for their safety, while simultaneously profiting and all with no risk). It does not matter how you re-write the Consent Process for the Vaccination Programme, our right to maintain our Bodily Integrity must still be in the Constitution - if it is not, the point was not deleted following a referendum. We do not consent and those that have could not have informed consent.
Ignorance of 2) what the adverse effects including death have been in Ireland will also not reduce liability. The international criminal court confirms in their final point that “If you believe you are a victim of crime and there is no evidence to the contrary a crime must be recorded.” It is virtually impossible to report an adverse reaction to the vaccines. In my personal experience, doctors reacted with hostility and deny blatant correlations and the undertakers recorded MDS (drop in red blood cells to virtually none) amongst other innocuous contributors (no mention of the vaccine) to the collective effect: Now being dead.
