Ballyginnanne, Carrigaline and Piercetown, Riverstick, Co. Cork
Proposed development
Met Eireann intend to apply for permission for development at this site in the townlands of Ballyginnanne, Carrigaline and Piercetown, Riverstick, Co. Cork. The development will consist of the construction of a galvanised steel truss weather radar tower with a technical equipment room and a radome located at the top and an equipment room located at the base. A section of forestry will be felled to facilitate the structure, which will measure a total of 39m in height and 8m in diameter and will be located on a hardcore platform. The structure will be accessed via a new access road off the existing forest haul road which will be upgraded to a width of 3.8m where required. The development will also consist of the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) array consisting of 24 solar panels on a fixed ground-mounted frame, boundary treatment to define the site and secure the weather radar and all associated site works and services.
