Plans by the French-backed Power Capital Renewable Energy to construct a solar farm on lands close to Dualla village in South Tipperary have been stalled.

Independent TD Mattie McGrath is one of over 300 people to lodge submissions with Tipperary County Council on the solar farm proposed for a 318-acre site, and now seven third parties have lodged appeals with An Bord Pleanála against the council’s decision to give the project the green light.
