West Cork villagers urged to protest solar farm

West Cork villagers are being urged to lodge their objections to a proposed solar panel farm with a local lobby group which has launched a determined campaign against the initiative.

Anyone objecting to the proposed farm of up to 18 acres of solar panels on the outskirts of Enniskeane is asked to give their objections to the group of residents opposing the plan, and as quickly as possible.

“We are seeking submissions from local householders against the proposed solar farm. These objections will be collated into a formal objection which will then be submitted to Cork County Council,” said Donal Shorten, spokesman for the residents’ group.
