A decision by An Bord Pleanala to give the green light to a wind farm in West Clare has been overturned by the Supreme Court.
The development in question was to consist of six wind turbines at Coor West, Shanvogh and was refused by Clare County Council, before getting the go-ahead from An Bord Pleanala whose board rejected the recommendation of its inspector.
Local resident Kathleen Connelly took a case against the development, and was previously victorious in the High Court.
