@politicsIN There's an arrogance in the @deptinfra that they can do what they want and nobody will challenge them, Mallusk Incinerator, Gas Caverns, A5 are only examples of the many times DfI have been told by the courts NO, but continue to waste money on projects. DfI is not fit for purpose

@ProfJohnBarry How much did Moy Park "save" by reaching conditions. This tactic has been used before, pollute until you get caught as the fine is substantially less than what it would cost to fully implement prevention measures

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

Appears the @deptinfra is the same as that friend who can't decide what to do on a Friday night.
"What do you wanna do DfI?"
"Dunno, what you wanna do?"
"You want to ask for more info?"
"Is that what you want us to do?
Liz Kimmins needs help to decide!

@deptinfra @LizKimminsSF Eh...resignation might be the best option.... resign ourselves to the fact that as far as @deptinfra is concerned the incompetence at all levels will prevent any positive development.

@mccleangreen @ChiefConPSNI @JamesAOrr @Sean_Tracey_76 £millions from budget spent on subsidising quarrying. Chief constable should pick 5 main and 2 bonus numbers and fingers crossed his budget will increase. Stop playing the operational policing excuse and start charging for security escort or cease the whinging!

@Economy_NI facing multiple legal challenges over granting of mineral prospecting licences due to procedural corruption.Another failure by SinnFein minister who is selling out the electorate. @mccleangreen @deptinfra @DalradianNI

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

Once again the incompetence of Dept of Economy. The repeated failures which have allowed the exploitation of NI by extractive industry. This destructive agenda must stop. @mccleangreen

These boys don't get involved unless there is something in it for them. Interference and corruption has been involved in this application since the beginning and now desperation @mccleangreen @DalradianNI @JamesAOrr @deptinfra

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

PSNI targeting violent criminals.Damn right, lock 'em up, throw away the key. Poor officers having their feelings hurt by protestors. Suspicion of criminal damage, time to bring back the noose for this behaviour!

Political and paid lobbying consultants, brown envelopes, intimidation of communities, false police reports, community bribes, now it's crying to the USA. Patrick Anderson demonstrates a twisted business strategy @mccleangreen @DalradianNI @JamesAOrr https://t.co/N2FARcg4xp

Transboundary Consultation in Dalradian application flawed. The Sh!t storm continues. https://t.co/qoBBHbV7LP

I’m in North Dakota at one of the most critical climate cases in US history. The Energy Transfer pipeline company is viciously attacking @Greenpeace and the climate movement with a SLAPP harassment lawsuit to retaliate for the Standing Rock protests.

Not a fair trial. ⤵️⤵️

Campaigners had raised these very issues before Christmas realising that they could lead to the collapse of the inquiry yet again.

Donegal council sees a “clear hydrological link” between the proposed development site and River Finn which is important for fish and otter.

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

PAC commissioners currently being escorted around Greencastle and Dalradian site. PSNI are acting as security. Dalradian staff are on hand as tour guides to answer questions. What happened to the transparent and fair process promised by Andrea Kells @mccleangreen @JamesAOrr

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

@mccleangreen @foe_ni @SeanTrace @RDeanBlackwood @james Another example of "noses in the trough". Quiche .......fu#£ing quiche!!!!! In my day it was bacon and egg pie,rebranding gone mad. Like calling FODC a council instead of its original term 'corrupted money grabbing whore mongers'

[andy clapperton @ClappertonAndy]

@colettecasey20 @JamesAOrr @MidUlster_DC Mid-Ulster is the most corrupt and inept planning department. Bias to developers is ingrained and environmental concerns are dismissed as being irrelevant.Planning has repeatedly demonstrated corruption and reckless conduct allowing unlawful quarrying, turbines and development.

An alternative to intensive farming that brings balance. An article worth reading @mccleangreen

@mccleangreen @foe_ni @Sean_Tracey_76 @Andy Arrogant much?
Should read, we submitted a plan thinking, with the number of politicians and planning officers that we paid off it was a done deal. Little did we appreciate the strength of opposition from a community we couldn't corrupt
