Plans have been lodged with An Bord Pleanala for a new windfarm in North Galway.
The 8-turbine development would be located at Laurclavagh and adjacent townlands.
The turbines would have a blade tip length of 185 metres - and when completed, the wind farm would generate an estimated 56MW.
This makes it a Strategic Infrastructure Development - and therefore it goes straight to An Bord Pleanala rather than county planners.

A decision is due in September.
