Highlighting the ongoing destruction on Inis Mór - Ag seasamh an fód ar son pobal agus timpeallacht Inis Mór.

Corncrake recorded for the 1st time in 25 years on Inis Mór & yet Galway County Council and State Agencies have failed for years to stop the unauthorised abstraction and crushing of stone at a nearby site.

@ronoc_16 Terrible to hear Conor, hope you’re on the mend! @GalwayCoCo and @EPAIreland were informed immediately on the 13th August but they have a very poor record of tackling sewage pollution on Inis Mór.

Sewage this afternoon in the water at Trá na bhFrancach, Inis Mór. Sewage on beach & seashore in a protected, SAC area where seaweed is also harvested for human consumption. The pollution in Inis Mór has to stop @irishenviro @Irishwildlife @wildatlanticway @CaomhnuArann

Súil agam a Fhachtna @TusAite @RTERnaG go réiteofar fadhb an séarachas i gCill Rónáin go luath. Infrastructúr ceart agus fís inmharthana ag teastáil don turasóireacht ar Árainn. @CaomhnuArann #InisMor #livingwithsewage

Still no action by the @EPAIreland Coverage of the sewage pollution at Trá na bhFrancach, Inis Mór on @RTERnaG yesterday. You can listen back here just over 6 minutes in https://t.co/bKe8DlSsPN

@pg_pg210 Thanks Pat, @GalwayCoCo are very well informed on this issue, after close on two decades still no resolution!

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@jeremydepots @saoirse_mchugh Did indeed, linked to conflict of interests in planning in Galway Co Co! Unauthorised developments and no enforcement by any of the State agencies at the heart of the problem.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

Dead swans & sewage at the SAC lagoon near Cill Rónáin, Inis Mór. Will the @EPAIreland @GalwayCoCo and @npwsBioData act to prevent this occurring again this Summer? #unauthorisedsewage #inismor #habitatdestruction #WildAtlanticWay #aranislands

@gloverstweets Míle buíochas!

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

A "Cesspit" of raw sewage on Inis Mór - metres from homes and an SAC lagoon, created by businesses & @GalwayCoCo Public Toilets & enabled by the lack of regulation, while other people struggle to get planning for a home #wildatlanticway #habitatdestruction #aranlife #inismór

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@plantmad @MMhainchin Thanks @plantmad & @MMhainchin it's a great idea, we're looking at it, serious sewage pollution issues too so just want to get the wording right.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@OldMouseCork @GalwayCoCo We thought that too once upon a time. They seem happy to let things continue as a free for all.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@attractaub If you can dm me your email will send through briefing document tomorrow

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@fahyjoseph Certainly no interest from the Irish State Agencies to deal with it.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

Unauthorised quarrying ongoing on Inis Mór, within metres of an SAC site and with otters in the vicinity. No effort by the relevant bodies to control it! #aranlife #habitatdestruction #wildatlanticway #inismor

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@fahyjoseph Yup, sand abstraction and currently stone crushing on the second site. The sand and stone are being used for construction - (some of which are unauthorised developments) and being sold.

@gloverstweets @Irishwildlife @npwsBioData @EPAIreland @AnTaisce @foeireland @wildatlanticway @rtenews @NuachtRTE @RTERnaG Thanks @gloverstweets Trá na mBuailte, Cill Éinne (EN19/103) and An Pointe, Cill Éinne (EN21/033), Inis Mór are the locations and the Galway CoCo. Enforcement references.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

@gloverstweets @Irishwildlife @npwsBioData @EPAIreland @AnTaisce @foeireland @wildatlanticway @rtenews @NuachtRTE @RTERnaG Members of our group have been reporting this site for years. Galway CoCo should be regulating this, they issued an enforcement notice and left it at that. NPWS and possibly EPA should be getting involved due to proximity to SAC, but no interest at all.

[Inis Mór @inis_mor]

Gaineamh & cloch á bhaint gan cead ar Inis Mór, buailte ar an SAC agus madraí uisce sa cheantar freisin. Is cuma leis an NPWS, EPA & @GalwayCoCo
ach fadhbanna móra pleanála ag muintir na noileán! #aranlife #habitatdestruction #wildatlanticway #inismor
