A major wind farm that will straddle the Cork/Waterford border has been given the green light by An Bord Pleanála.
Kilkenny-based renewable energy company Curns Energy Ltd, plans to construct 17 turbines across 733 hectares in an area known as Lyrenacarriga. Situated 5km southeast of Tallow and 9km northwest of Youghal, the land is part-owned by Coillte.
