BnM aim to built a new turbine across Offaly and Westmeath.

Public consulations are to be held this week on a draft layout for a windfarm for Offaly and Westmeath.

BnM is intending to build a 25 turbine project across the bogs of Derryhinch, Drumman and Derryarkin, with a blade tip height of 200 meters.

They'll be built adjacent to the communities of Milltownpass, Rhode, Rochfortbridge and Tyrellspass.

The two planned sessions will take place at Ballinabrackey GAA club in Kinnegad, and in Rhode Parish Hall.

Both consultations will run from 5pm until 8:30pm to give local residents a chance to express any concerns with the proposed development.
