After the epa report this week, #internationalbogday could not come at a better time to raise awareness of the importance of our bogs & the vital role they play. A natural ecosystem that can provide so much for climate & biodiversity. #bogday
People have been in touch to say that BNM have been dropping leaflets in their doors and are confused as to what they are now planning. To try and explain it as simple as possible, BNM have applied to Pleanala for Substitute Consent...pleanala.ie/en-ie/case/31389…
for peat extraction and all associated bog development works for the bogs here, namely Derryadd, Derryaroge and Lough Bannow Bogs.
Substitute consent allows applicants, in exceptional circumstances, to make a retrospectve application for a project that should have had an..

Companies owned by Bord na Móna say they fall outside of the scope of key regulations enabling access to environmental information, limiting transparency on the semi-state’s core operational activity, Noteworthy can reveal.

The reality of our bogs and how actions like this are impacting biodiversity.
Today when BNM announced the news about the cranes, it's important to remember that in other bogs, it's activities like in this video that are taking place as we post this, to remove water off bogs that's directly impacting species & their habitats. Why @BordnaMona? @rtenews

To make good law, first you must understand what you are trying to change, I suggest that not one member of this government has any idea of the problems with planning and compliance with Irish and EU law. When so many cases are being lost, would it not be better to find out why.
Protected species coming under extensive implications as a result of the proposed Derryadd Wind Farm. How is this deemed acceptable?
Wildlife of all sizes on these bogs, dependent on their habitats yet BNM plan to desecrate these exact habitats resulting in implications to wildlife & nature. Frogs are protected under the EU Habitats Directive & Irish Wildlife Act. @noonan_malcolm will you act to protect?

We've said it time and time again, everything in this world has it's place, to construct a wind farm on bogs is ten steps backwards for one step forward. It just does not make sense.
“Bogs are one of the most important environmental tools that we have"
Bord na Móna return to drawing table as Derryadd wind turbine saga continues longfordleader.ie/news/home/…

BNM completely missing the importance of what the MSWP stands for. Trying to compare it to Mt.Lucas in their booklet is like comparing Apples & Oranges. Shocking.
Attending a BNM open evening today/tomorrow in the locality?Please bear in mind,no matter how BNM try to portray the MSWP they intend to establish in collaboration with a proposed WF,they are not addressing the real issues.Evident in their booklet compared to our evidence to date

You won't see things like this in the Derryadd wind farm booklet or information stalls.
Despite the recent rains providing some return of rewetting and ease to species, the pumps are literally frothing this morning pumping this water off the bogs. This is the price for what BNM are advertising this week.@EamonRyan @noonan_malcolm @DarraghOBrienTD @MichealMartinTD

This really says it all.
If the ordinary person's planning for a family home is out by an inch and not 110% then their application is throw out. But when it comes to the top-tier then it's open season and laws can be changed to disregard laws.

A clip of some of the wildlife & their habitats here that are facing severe implications as a direct result of the proposed BNM Derryadd WF. Is this the price of developing our renewable energy targets by attacking #biodiversity?
There's only the one benefit for these bogs. Implement the full scale rehabilitation of the Mid Shannon Wilderness Park.
Actions like these are taking place on the bogs this evening as BNM holds their proposed wind farm open evening with a questionnaire that asks the public what type of benefits the community should receive? Speaks for itself.

Absolutely shocking proposal this evening from BNM for the Derryadd bogs. From a company thatspeaks of a brown to green transition this is unbelievable what's planned. A blow of the highest order to biodiversity.

Should you or someone you know be attending an upcoming BNM "community engagement sessions" in the coming days, please bear in mind the implications to these bogs to facilitate such a proposed development. What stands to be lost & what should not be lost. youtu.be/fXN0wQc-QVQ
