There is increasing concern in the Bunclody area over plans by Coillte to construct a major windfarm development near Mount Leinster.
Such is the level of concern about the project, that over 2.500 people have already signed a petition against the plan.
The proposal makes provision for the development, on the Carlow side of the border, of seven turbines with proposed heights of 178m which would be significantly higher than any of the other turbines in the region.
If given the green light by Carlow County Council, the turbines will be erected at Croaghaun Hill, near Myshall. Such is the level of concern in south Carlow and Bunclody that Minister of State James Browne was invited to a Zoom meeting last week to discuss the matter with concerned residents.
