Old Leighlin windfarm plans rejected

Plans for a windfarm in Carlow have been rejected.

The application by Galetech Energy to install 21 wind turbines at Old Leighlin was turned down by the county council back in April after a record number of submission were made in relation to it but the case was referred to An Bord Pleanala.

Locals that have been campaigning against the planned windfarm received word yesterday that the application has been rejected.
