Locals can't appeal the dismissal of challenge to permission for Kerry windfarm

A local group has been refused leave to appeal the dismissal of its challenge to An Bord Pleanala's permission for a €46m wind farm close to the village of Lixnaw in Co Kerry, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

North Kerry Wind Turbine Awareness Group (NKWTAG) had sought to overturn the Board's July 2016 decision granting an appeal by Stacks Mountain Windfarm Ltd against Kerry County Council's refusal of permission for 10 wind turbines.
