Bord na Móna will not be going ahead with plans for a new wind farm in Offaly if it infringes on a heritage site.

There's strong local opposition to turbines being built on Leamonaghan Bog near Ballycumber, due to its proximity to a monastic site.

CEO of Bord na Móna, Tom Donnellan says the company will fully comply with planning and environmental regulations.

He also says they're eager to put off the public consultation until an in-person meeting can be held:
