Plans for a controversial solar farm in north Cork have been given the green light for a second time by An Bord Pleanála.
The board has rejected the appeal by the Fiddane Solar Action Group against the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for a 67.8 hectare solar farm on lands at Fiddane, Ballyhea, Co Cork.
