23 Feb 2021 : Nathan Griffin Borleagh Manor in Wexford. Having initially received a green light for planning permission on the 20 million film studio, Tara Studios will now have to wait another four months to find out if its ambitious plans have been successful. This setback comes following an objection being lodged by a local in relation to the scale of the project in a quiet rural area. The objection also argued that the studio represented an inappropriate and opportunistic endeavour in an area that was not suited to such a project. The company behind the development, which is headed up by John Gleeson and Ivan Dunleavy, intended to turn the Tara Studios site located at Borleagh Manor in north Wexford into one of the largest film production facilities in Ireland.
