As Ireland is on the west of Europe and the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it gets a lot of wind, particularly along the west coast, so it is ideal for setting up wind turbines. There are many wind turbines around Ireland, with lots more planned.

Ireland has many power stations, but no nuclear ones, which you may be referring to. There are risks associated with nuclear power stations and to date Ireland does not have one. Power in power stations is generated by peat, wind and water, amongst other things.

Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.

Natural Gas, Turf (peat), wood and coal. Wind and water power are also used. Like any country Ireland's greatest resource is its people.

The effectiveness of wind power depends on where the wind power is coming from. Certain locations with a lot of wind are deemed effective at supplying wind power.
