Government document review
Cavan conditionally decided to grant permission on 22 July 2026. Commission case 501871, lodged 13 August 2026, remains pending. The retained cohort also contains case 501825, whose invalid status does not terminate the separate active appeal. The proposal term and council condition differ.

Proposed in application · Cavan 2660003, solar PV Phase 2; no count or capacity added from another phase
What the evidence says
The further-information fire assessment identifies Mannok solar PV Phase 2 as 21.9 MWp and states that it includes no energy storage. The council decision describes three 11 kV transformer stations. The assessment table calls its figure installed capacity, but this is a planning-stage design statement and does not establish commissioning.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation for solar and electrical work: separates this generation proposal from battery-storage schemes and identifies the source-stated design scale.
What is not established
No selected module or inverter model, commissioned capacity, grid agreement or built installation is established.

3 Transformer stations
Council decision under appeal · Council decision on Cavan 2660003; operational term under appeal
What the evidence says
The proposal description requests 40 years of operation. The council notification dated 22 July 2026 instead conditions a 35-year term from commissioning, with removal and restoration requirements. Active Commission appeal 501871 is pending; earlier case 501825 is separately marked invalid. Neither an issued final grant nor commissioning is established.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: the condition controls the council-stage term, so the older 40-year headline should not be presented as the approved duration.
What is not established
No final appeal determination, construction start, actual commissioning date or fulfilled restoration condition is established.

Proposed in application · Further-information fire assessment for Phase 2, received 16 June 2026
What the evidence says
The assessment proposes no dedicated on-site firefighting water storage. It relies on the adjoining cement facility hydrant network and identifies a quarry sump as a backup. The report states a tested hydrant flow of at least 1,500 litres per minute at 2 bar, and proposes inverter protection and SCADA alarms. These are report statements, not independent certification of present availability or safety.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation for fire and water infrastructure: identifies reliance on existing infrastructure and the need to verify the final agreed response arrangements.
What is not established
Current flow, final fire-service approval, procurement and any later water-storage revision are not established. The page describes approximate distances differently in its table and narrative; no reconciled distance is published.
