It's after An Bord Pleanala recently refused substitute consent for the development - which has since shut down operations in recent weeks.

Since 2019, the state is paying €15 thousand in EU fines every day for failing to adhere to proper standards, with around €13m paid to date.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar stated in the Dáil this week that the ESB has "not covered itself in glory" over the situation and a decision must be made very soon.

Many now feel the demolition of the wind farm is the most likely outcome of the long-running saga.

Councillor Geraldine Donohue says the ESB must clarify what it intends to do.
