An Bord Pleanala gives go ahead to Barnesmore windfarm

An Bord Pleanala has granted permission for a wind farm at Lough Mourne and Barnesmore in Co Donegal.

Planree Ltd have confirmed that they have been granted permission to build 19 turbines.

They had applied to build 36.

It follows a vigorous campaign objecting to the wind farm by parts of the local community.
