A Fine Gael Councillor wants the Housing Minister to introduce a temporary pause on all large wind farm developments.
Borris In Ossory/Mountmellick rep John King and Independent Councilllor Ollie Clooney are also calling for updated guidelines on wind farm projects.
The current guidelines have been in place since 2006, with a new draft set issued in 2019.
