Leitrim County Council has raised major concerns over the proposed Lissinagroagh Wind Farm, saying key planning, transport and environmental issues remain unresolved.

A very big thank you to everyone who has helped with our campaign to date. Members who have been involved since 2021 and those who have joined more recently and added such vibrancy. Thanks also for those who have lodged objections to the proposed Lissinagroagh Wind Farm and contributed to our group one, it was a mammoth task in a short period of time but we are pleased with the final document. Well done to the Leitrim Councillors from all 3 municipal districts who added important resolutions to the Leitrim County Council submission. To all of you great people who supported our Go Fund Me Campaign and supported us in all ways, give yourselves a clap on the back. We now have to wait and see what An Coimisiun Pleanala decides so a little downtime for us but still keeping a watchful eye! A decision from ACP will be no later than July 2027. In the meantime, we will be enjoying the mountain, taking walks, hen harrier, white tailed eagle and marsh fritillary spotting or simply taking in the incredible views in this wonderful place. Leitrim ABu!
