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#WAW

The ongoing sewage pollution in Inis Mór has to stop @NuachtRTE@irishenviro@Irishwildlife#WAW
@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.
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
@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.
@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.
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
