Kinsale Community Group Hit Out At Solar Farm Legislative Vacuum
Jagoes Mills Action Group disappointed at decision to grant planning for a solar farm in Farrangalway
A Kinsale based community group has hit out at An Bord Pleanala's decision to grant planning permission for a 32 acre Solar Farm in Farrangalway...
Jagoes Mills Action Group claim that in granting permission for the 5 Mega Watt solar power-generating plant, the Bord rejected the recommendation of its own inspector to refuse planning for the development.
The group has accused the Department of not only failing to plan for the development of a solar industry in Ireland, but for failing to acknowledge the need for legislative change.
Speaking to RedFM News Aoife Carlin from the group says they are very disappointed with the Bord's decision
