Stunning views of the whole Kingdom of Iveagh from its ritual & inauguration centre, Knock Iveagh. You're now prevented from visiting & the hill is being UNLAWFULLY developed thanks to @deptinfra @JohnODowdSF @abcb_council & @CommunitiesNI 1/2 #saveknockiveagh

"Transparency and meaningful public participation in decision-making are vital and gaps in the current response are undermining public confidence in proposed solutions."

Why was heritage placed within DFC? We have seen how weak this department has been in dealing with this kind of irreplaceable environmental damage, & yet Stormont continues to ignore the issue. The historic environment IS PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT, & protected by the EIA regs.

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

Isn't it interesting/shameful that @AndrewMuirNI's review of environmental governance in NI doesn't appear to consider the Historic Environment? This, despite clear & devastating breaches of the EIA REGS. Why is our historic environment being ignored? #SAVEKNOCKIVEAGH

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

The EIA regulations exist to protect the environment, and our politicians just aren't doing this! @JohnODowdSF

@McAleer_1 @deptinfra @abc_council @ShaunaReports And not forgetting the 'off shore' company who are still taking in millions more of OUR MONEY in ROCS? THE SYSTEM IS A JOKE!

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

AMAZING to hear that @deptinfra told the PAC enquiry into gold mining they COULDN'T IMAGINE quibbling with a local authority over responsibility for a planning matter... Apparent amnesia re. their 7 year row with @abc_council over Knock Iveagh #systemfailni? #DUH @ShaunaReports

[Emmet McAleer - Independent @McAleer_1]

@saveknockiveagh @deptinfra @abc_council @ShaunaReports I specifically referenced the @saveknockiveagh case and campaign at the Inquiry, and am content to advise that both the Commission and the DfI Representatives noted/acknowledged this - the matter of monitoring and enforcement is one that will undoubtedly re-appear in the process.

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

@McAleer_1 @deptinfra @abc_council @ShaunaReports The huge amount of public money wasted on legal bills by ABC & DFI could've been MASSIVELY reduced if Mallon & O'Dowd DFI had the courage to do their jobs & act to ensure the integrity of the planning process! Priceless heritage damaged only for lawyers to fatten their wallets?

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

We want to thank @ColinSDLP & @BeattieDoug for their recent questions at Stormont concerning Knock Iveagh. Special thanks to the team at @SDLPlive for meeting with us recently & taking the time to understand the issues! Our campaign continues.

Good to hear Paul Gosling calling out the incompetence at @deptinfra on EIAs, roads & water on @StephenNolan. Like other environmental groups, we know that the competence & integrity just isn't there. It's as plain as an unlawful turbine on a ancient royal site. #saveknockiveagh

[Save Knock Iveagh @saveknockiveagh]

Not just Belfast... They've been ruining the SETTING of ancient monuments (even those protected by law!), for years. Utterly clueless. #systemfailni #saveknockiveagh

[Tim McKane @timmckane]

What is it with the planners in Belfast? We build two recognizable iconic structures, Waterfront Hall and Titanic, which send out positive messages about our recovery from years of destruction and then they are covered from view with artless blocks. Mad!! https://t.co/NY4CJAluI2

Where better to watch the Sun's journey through our mythical landscape than from Eochaid's cairn? #heartofcountydown #saveknockiveagh https://t.co/FtGDbHLXlX

Thank you @ShaunaReports for covering this story more than any other journalist.

What a few years it's been and what an exceptional, caring and resolute community taking on government insanity and winning.

@deptinfra @StephenNolan Who benefits? Not the public, at Knock Iveagh it's the off-shore companies who generate millions in ROCS from a flawed renewables scheme. Time to take control & restore some integrity to the system!
