This didn’t happen. Random developer-led plans should be rejected until proper env ass undertaken & ecosystem given priority in Marine Spatial Planning.

Please think seriously about joining this plea for nature...

Surely ‘not green’ when built on sites selected for designation as Special Area of Conservation. Destruction of nature is a critical cost, but do political leaders care? @EamonRyan @LeoVaradkar

@CoastalConcern @think_or_swim @IrishEnvNet @foeireland ORE at-any-cost journos shut down objections to huge intrusion of industrialised seascape as nimbyism to deflect from reality of irreversible destruction of geogenic sandbank habitat BENEATH megaturbines: 80m boreholes+dredging +cement mattressing +array cable spaghetti junction

@CoastalConcern @DarraghOBrienTD @WindEnergyIRL @CllrDMitchell @FairSeasIreland @waterfordwind @WANWC4 @dl_Seafront With no independent assessment of ecological impacts, particularly at site selection stage. These phase 1 projects are government approved #ecocide. A 5 year delay for proper implementation & saving our carbon capturing ecosystems is time well spent @stevensgreen1 @SimonHarrisTD

[Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway]

The Nature Restoration Law is important because we are still haemorrhaging biodiversity and Ireland has failed so far to meet its responsibilities.

Unfortunately I find myself again objecting to a wind farm, this time on a bog in Donegal. No lessons learned from 2020 Meenbog landslide & right beside an SAC salmon river. If it was really emissions we were concerned about we would be restoring bogs not building on them

[Coastal Concern Alliance @CoastalConcern]

Another developer-selected site off S. Wexford coast targeted for wind. What Gov would even entertain building a wind farm a stones throw from the Saltee Islands? @EamonRyan @DarraghOBrienTD @GraceOSllvn @BirdWatchIE @BlueHorizonHQ @waterfordwind @coastwatch_ire @irishbirdimage

[Social Democrats Dun Laoghaire @SocDemsDL]

The @dl_Seafront campaign are running a public meeting this evening from 7pm about #DunLaoghaire Baths in the Maritime Museum.

A very important local Campaign to ensure our amenities remain public and are fully accessible to everyone in the Community.

Sitka Spruce is the "battery hen" of the forestry industry in Ireland. The reality not the perception of a profiteering forest Industry which makes little effort to improve the managment of these plantations or deal with legacy issues or to innovative & modernise how this is done

[Coastal Concern Alliance @CoastalConcern]

@adoolan34 @dl_Seafront @SAMRASandymount @HowthTidyTowns @WicklowWildlife @SECPA_IRE @coastwatch_ire @waterfordwind Putting turbines 500m from a home is disgraceful & should not be permitted. Issues at sea do differ from those on land, but at the root of both are planning laws & politicians that prioritise the agendas of developers while disregarding citizens & the environment. @DeptHousingIRL

@CoastalConcern @AnTaisce @Failte_Ireland @SAMRASandymount @dl_Seafront @flossiebeachcl1 @KillineyLions @DalkeyF @DL_Greens @labour @CarrollJennifer @CormacDevlin @DttDes Trying to hide that they have been given consent by @EamonRyan to develop 250+ meter high turbines on sandbanks which should be designated as protected areas under EU Law. Shame on the Irish government

@LeoVaradkar could fix it for Donald Trump’s view. Perhaps he could ensure the beautiful landscapes of Irish citizens are equally valued? With permission from @EamonRyan of course! @simoncoveney @dl_Seafront @CarrollJennifer @SenatorMcDowell @codohertynews https://t.co/Qhd0VJhAN0

Hoping to see a big crowd tomorrow!

Coillte's partnership with vulture fund Gresham House is a corporate heist of our forests.

Only People Power can stop this.

Join our protest at 12:30PM this Thursday outside the Dáil and sign the petition below:

[Irish Wildlife Trust @Irishwildlife]

If Coillte needs outside help to do forestry, what's the point of Coillte?

We need to see the remit of Coillte change so that it is not a just-for-profit enterprise but acknowledges the social and environmental benefits of forests

Unlike objectors 2 RWE-owned mine, critics of RWE shiny Kish sandbank project (once an cSAC but 'dropped' from list in 2012) are called NIMBYs for saying developer-selected/govt enabled mega-turbine site wrong when +km2 of infrastructure wld destroy unique marine/bird habitat🤔

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

called again on gov to agree Dáil debate on disgraceful Coillte plan to facilitate UK investment fund to buy tens of thousands of hectares of our land & forestry. Debate agreed but we need next week. This deal has to be stopped. @pb4p @woodlandleague #SaveOurForestsSaveOurLand

[Coastal Concern Alliance @CoastalConcern]

Initiatives presented as ‘green’ need to be very carefully scrutinised. @EamonRyan @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @SocDems @sinnfeinireland @labour @pb4p @dl_Seafront @BlueHorizonHQ @stevensgreen1 https://t.co/kPHvUTxpPs
