The development has faced intense backlash from local community groups

The final proposed layout of a large wind farm development in Roscommon has been released for public consultation.

Irish energy provider Energia and Galetech Energy Developments are seeking to construct 20 wind turbines at Seven Hills in the South of the County.

The proposed layout released by the company today shows 20 wind turbines with a typical output of 5-6 megawatts in the townland.
