It's not complicated. Basically, it's straightforward rental income.Renting land for wind can be very profitable so definitely worth pursuing. Yes you need a good solicitor . I don’t think tax is complicated .
From the OPs figures they could get between €150k and €300k a year and you think they should be happy with 15k/year?You are getting 15k now for an asset that just fell into your hands basically, if I was you I would be happy with that
That's completely false, drive around the country and you will see signs up sayingNegative reaction from the local community may be overstated and SEAI surveys show significant acceptance/welcome for wind energy even in close proximity to turbines -
That couldn't be further from the truth, there isn't a community in Ireland that want these anywhere near them. Recent High court ruling reinforces thatNegative reaction from the local community may be overstated and SEAI surveys show significant acceptance/welcome for wind energy even in close proximity to turbines - however there may be individual hostility to development/change (that is part of life). I think there is also some community payback from turbines. In any case if it goes through the planning process these concerns can be played out and adjudicated on and in a broader/national community sense you would be playing a part in the provision of renewable energy (& energy security) - a national priority.
There have been various polls of home owners over the last few years showing the opposite and even an improving trend, for example this from last year -That couldn't be further from the truth, there isn't a community in Ireland that want these anywhere near them.

Wind farm noise constituted nuisance to nearby residents, High Court rules
The court’s decision is understood to have implications for the operation of wind turbineswww.irishtimes.com
I'd happily support wind power as long as it was quiet, didn't disturb my view, didn't interfere with my TV, broadband or mobile signal and didn't cause the bog/mountain etc to collapse or inadvertainly cause flooding.There have been various polls of home owners over the last few years showing the opposite and even an improving trend, for example this from last year -
“The polling, which was carried out for Wind Energy Ireland by Interactions Research, also found that 58 per cent would support the development of a wind farm in their local area and support generally for wind energy among people living in rural Ireland was at 85 per cent. Both of these figures are the highest since the tracking poll began in 2018.”
