Plans for a €20 million film studio in north Wexford have to be put on hold following an objection against the scale of the project in a quiet rural area.

Tara Studios will have to wait another four months to find out if it has been successful in seeking approval for its plans to develop what it claims will be one of the largest film production facilities in Ireland at Borleagh Manor around 5km outside Gorey, Co Wexford.

The company which was established by the former chief executive of Pinewood Studios, Ivan Dunleavey and film financier, John Gleeson, plans to construct seven sound stages, ten workshops and associated production facilities within the grounds of Borleagh Manor, a listed 19th century Georgian building on 160 acres of woodland.
