The developer of a proposed wind farm near Baltinglass has confirmed its plans to press ahead with the project.
ABO Wind Ireland Ltd said this week it is set to lodge an application with Wicklow County Council for permission to construct five 165m wind turbines at Kilranelagh Hill.
The plan has already been the focus of sustained local opposition due to the archaeological features on the site, which is part of the Baltinglass Hillfort Complex. The Save Wicklow s Ancient East and West Wicklow Wind Action Group committees set up a GoFundMe campaign last month to raise funds for any potential appeal against the development.
