An Coimisiún Pleanála is now assessing an appeal against the recent refusal of a large wind farm near Killimordaly.
The major development would be been based on lands around Killimordaly and Attymon, with a blade tip height of up to 185m.
Although permission was only sought in September, a "Killimordaly Windfarm Opposition Committee" had already been well established at that point.
And reflecting their determination, shortly after county planners began assessing the project, the objections poured in.
All in all, there were more than 400 submissions, ranging from simple statements to in-depth analysis.
Broadly, the concerns included impact on the landscape, destruction of habitats and bogland, property devaluation, water pollution and possible health effects.
The plans were rejected by county planners in late November on various grounds, but a key factor was the suitability of the local road network.
But developer Gannow Ltd has now taken an appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála, with a decision due in May.
