Good news for #Islandmagee

Public consultation docs thoroughly scrutinised by dedicated community , NGOS , stakeholders and political reps. DAERA & NIEA now have the arduous tasks of deliberation and responding to the myriad of discrepancies found . #nomarinelicence # infa

DEADLINE 5pm WED for gas storage licence PC responses. Legal advice states “NIEA are in receipt of info that confirms sHRA has based its assessment on an inaccurate brine model. That assessment OVERESTIMATED the extent of brine dispersal & UNDERESTIMATES the enviro impact” #infa

Islandmagee home to Irelands only mainland Puffin , nesting Rosate Tern , and myriad of red and amber species. Beautiful beachs , Rinka ice cream & famous cliff paths . We say no to solution mining & seawater pollution #infa

Good to have the backing of so many environmental organisations #timesarechanging #NoGasStorage

There’s a lacuna in NI law which means there’s no decommissioner of last resort to cover liability for #infa InfraStrata gas storage eg if Co went bankrupt. Any decision on ML should be delayed until appropriate legislation is in place. This just 1 of many objections to licence.

Germany and 10 other EU states are pushing for the EU to end funding for cross-border natural gas projects over climate change euobserver.com/tickers/152020

About those plans to consider returning to #fracking... here in Lancashire, we're not only watching... we're ready for whatever they try ;) #FrackFreeLancashire

The lady who approved underground gas storage in Preesall goes on to work for gas firm…..

Analogy #1 Your local chippy puts 8 times the amount of salt you like on your supper - do you keep going back or go somewhere else? 🤮 Baseline salinity = 34.2 Dumped waste from gas cavern mining in Islandmagee = salinity of 260. What will they do ? 🐬🐟🐧

Great News! Together with No Gas Caverns group No Gas Caverns we issued legal proceedings against DAERA over plans for a destructive gas storage project under Larne Lough. DAERA has accepted that it has a case to answer on all 10 grounds! Full hearing this winter.

Give Stop Preesall Quarry a follow! Another dreadful project that will negatively impact Preesall and surrounding areas
