Environmentalists have lodged an objection with Cork County Council's planning office against plans for what they say will be the biggest ever wind turbines proposed for Co Cork.

Wingleaf Ltd has applied for planning for seven 178.5m high turbines with supporting infrastructure on the Shehy Mountains overlooking Guagán Barra and the Pass of Keimaneigh.
