A slightly busier week -a quarry, a marina and a landfill The day before Christmas Eve the West Askeaton Action Group (WAAG) heard that its objection against an appeal to An Bord Pleanala by Cemtex for a 35.9 hectare quarry at Ballyclogh, Co. Limerick, had been upheld. WAAG had first opposed an application for the quarry in 2007, when 318 people objected to Limerick County Council against the proposal. In January 2008 another application was submitted which led to WAAG calling a public meeting in opposition, after which more than 300 objections were lodged. When Limerick County Council refused Cemtex permission, it appealed to An Bord Pleanala, where it faced some 20 objections, including one from WAAG. WAAG PRO Jimmy Kelly said the news of the refusal ‘was great for all the people living here. I would hope it is the end of the line now.’ (Limerick Leader 3/1/09, p. 1). |

Jump To Comment: 1 2I'm afraid I'm getting bored of seeing this headline "News from down the country" repeatedly applied to different reports about events related to various environmental issues.
Do you think you could come up with a specific headline to summarise the content of each individual report, please?
Thanks in advance.
I think the title is fine and I look forward to reading this regular update on various issues from around the country. There are usually a broad range of campaigns covered and from a wide range of places so picking a succinct title that would be relevant to all would be difficult. By now most readers recognise Contaminated Crow's News from Down the Country and know what sort of report and material his (her?) posts contain. While it may not be the most informative title, it is catchy and a bit of a regular feature on Indymedia so lets just leave the Crow to get on with what he does best and not split hairs/feathers over the title.
