County council planners are to urge An Bord Pleanála to reduce the number of wind turbines proposed for a site in mid-Cork for “ecological reasons".

An Bord Pleanála will have the ultimate decision on whether the application for 20 turbines near the village of Ballinagree goes ahead, as it is deemed a strategic infrastructure project.
