The government has been called on to intervene to put an end to the “waste of public money” that is the Derrybrien Wind farm issue.
Sinn Féin representative Louis O’Hara criticised the “lack of urgency” to address the daily fines of €15,000 relating to Derrybrien Wind farm in south Galway.
Commenting on the matter, O’Hara said: “In November 2019, Ireland was fined €5 million in the European Court of Justice for the state’s failure to carry out an environmental impact assessment at Derrybrien Windfarm in south Galway and a further €15,000 a day until the situation is resolved.
