A Cork Community Group has highlighted a severe lack of guidelines in the Solar Farm industry.
The Jagoes Mills Action Group are calling on Minister Simon Coveney to respond to a motion by Cork County Council to place a moratorium on the construction of solar power plants, until proper Planning Guidelines have been put in place.
