While guidelines are in place, solar farms have not been banned on farmland in England, where a number of major solar projects have been recently proposed.
Michael O’Leary made the call after investing over €140,000 to install solar panels and batteries at his 2,000-acre Gigginstown estate outside Mullingar, Co Westmeath.
