Alternatives to pylons will be highlighted at public meeting MUNSTER
A PUBLIC meeting will be held this Friday, 28th March, at Lawlor’s Hotel, Dungarvan, regarding the EirGrid / Grid Link Project. The meeting, which is a joint event by the seven anti-pylon groups in County Waterford, will start at 7.30 p.m. and speakers on the night will include Nuclear Scientist, Thomas Kemp, who will talk about the health effects of a 400
kV power line; and Malcolm Brown, who will discuss the first and second BW Energy reports. Mr. Brown is one of the Authors of the report, which offers a viable and costed pylon-free alternative to Grid25. He will also outline the lack of a British market for Ireland’s expensive renewable wind energy. Mr. Brown will give an understanding of the
mechanics of the energy market and how the grid can be upgraded at a reasonable cost that suits Ireland's needs. The presentation will be of great interest to landowners and the public in general who have an interest in the Pylon and Wind Turbine Campaigns as it will demonstrate the realities of the energy issues proposed for the county and country.
All elected representatives, including Ministers, TDs, MEPs, Senators, Councillors and EirGrid representatives have been invited to attend. It is understood that the politicians have been invited to listen, but will NOT be invited to speak. Seats will be reserved for politicians so members of the public can clearly see which of them turn up to the public meeting.

Judge orders Minister to hand over documentation sought by former nun
Finalist in the Waterford Rose of Tralee Competition, Mollie Lenihan McGrane with her mother Carmel at the Tower Hotel last Friday night. Mollie represented Subway Dungarvan.
A HIGH Court Judge has ordered the Justice Minister to hand over documentation sought by former nun Nora Wall, for her action to claim damages against the State, which arose from her wrongful conviction for the rape of a 12-year-old girl. Nora Wall (65), a former Sister of Mercy nun who was based in Cappoquin, then known as Sister Dominic, is claiming damages arising from her prosecution in 1999. It emerged that a prosecution witness had been called, against the direction of the DPP, to testify at the trial. The witness later admitted fabricating evidence, in
which she claimed to have seen Ms.Wall holding down the alleged victim during the attack. The case was certified by the Court of Criminal Appeal as a miscarriage of justice in 2005. Ms. Wall has since brought a claim for damages against the State and has sought discovery of documents. Mr. Justice Michael White made the order at the High Court last week for the Minister of Justice and the State to provide documents which record the reason(s) the witness for the prosecution was not to be called at the trial.
