Meenacloghspar (Wind) Limited is appealing a High Court ruling over wind turbine noise nuisance, reported on 27 March 2026. The dispute concerns Ballyduff Windfarm in Kilcomb, County Wexford, where restrictions were imposed on one turbine and more than €300,000 in damages was awarded to four plaintiffs.

The operator seeks to overturn the nuisance finding and challenges the permanent injunction restricting one turbine’s operation. The High Court allowed the appeal to proceed but refused to suspend the injunction while the appeal is pending.

Payment of the damages awards was stayed until the appeal is determined. The injunction remains in force.
