Families near proposed windfarm offered €5k

An energy developer is offering up to €5,000 to each family living within 1km of a proposed new windfarm in north Meath.

The offer is in addition to a proposal from the developer to contribute €375,000 towards a €2.5m centre of excellence for the county GAA.

GAA members in the affected area say the association is facing a split if the offer is accepted.
