BioRegions project a ‘roadmap’ for sustainable rural communities

Westmeath can become Ireland’s number one bioenergy region on foot of a ‘BioRegions’ project driven by Westmeath Community Development and supported by rural and farmer groups, according to Duncan Stewart.

The environmentalist praised the group for its sustainable energy efforts and said the BioRegions project will prove critical to the future of the county’s 80,000 citizens.

Westmeath Community Development chief executive Joe Potter came up with the plan, in association with Patrick Daly.
