Toomes
Toomes (Irish: Na Toim) is a townland in County Louth, Ireland.[1] It is close to the village of Louth and within the civil parish of the same name.[2] Toomes townland, which has an area of approximately 1.4 km2 (350 acres),[2] had a population of 5 people as of 2011.[3]
In 2007, the Quinn Group applied to build a natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station in the area. There was significant local opposition to the plans,[4] in particular as the area was zoned for farming and residential use. While the Quinn Group received permission for the proposed development in mid-2008,[5] by early 2009 the project was "on hold",[6] and by 2011 it was reportedly "very unlikely" that it would progress.[7] By 2022, the proposed power station had not progressed,[citation needed] and it was proposed to build a "184 acre solar farm" between Toomes and nearby Monvallet.[8]
