I see former Minister for Agriculture Barry Cowen has objected to a new biogas AD plant in his native Offaly.

He has lodged an objection against a proposal to build a 40GW renewable biogas plant just outside Tullamore.

I understood that he was originally supportive of the biogas plant, during his brief time as Minister for Agriculture but has now become an objector since he was sacked in mid-July.

I’ll be keeping an eye on how this one plays out.
