Anger over granting of permission for biogas facility in Gort

There's frustration and anger over the granting of planning permission for a controversial biogas plant in Gort. 

The project has been rejected twice by Galway County Council, but has now been approved by An Bord Pleanala. 

It comes as a major disappointment to local campaigners, who've long argued that the proposed location at Ballynamantan, Kinincha (kin-in-cha) and Glenbrack is completely inappropriate. 

Galway East TD Ciaran Cannon says this is not the end of the matter - and a public meeting will be held next month. 

Speaking to Galway Talks, he says it's a disappointing and "mystifying" decision.
