The 'NoToSeskinWindFarm' group is holding a meeting in Laois this evening.

Midlands communities are joining to protest against a proposed wind farm.

Residents of Durrow and Ballinaslee are holding a public meeting this evening in protest against a wind farm project set for the Laois and Kilkenny border.

On Monday, five articulated lorries, each matching the size of the planned turbines, travelled through both towns to simulate the potential disruption.

Locals gathered along key routes, including Durrow’s historic Tae Lane, where concerns were raised about environmental damage and safety risks.

The 'NoToSeskinWindFarm' group believes the project will see native trees removed and infrastructure dismantled to make way for construction.

A public meeting is taking place this evening at 8pm in The Castle Arms Hotel, Durrow.
