ACTION

Send the waterpost e-card to TD’s, Government bodies, Petroleum Affairs Division and demand a ban on fracking!
(email addresses at the end of the Fracking Matters Newsletter 17-13 (107))

The government has said that there will be no fracking until the next EPA study is completed, not until at least 2014. However, the last EPA report was produced by Aberdeen University, which has strong ties to the fossil fuel industry. How do we know that the new study will not be compromised?

The people are not reassured by the government’s promises. The Irish anti-fracking campaign will go on and is getting stronger every day.

Campaigners have produced a postcard that highlights the greatest problem with shale gas extraction – the irreversible pollution to our water. Can Ireland afford to contaminate its most precious resource, the source of our agriculture industry, and the source of all life?

Add your voice to your neighbours’! Call on our elected representatives and civil servants to respect the wishes of the Irish people and ban fracking.

It provides information on local, national and international hydraulic fracturing related issues ranging from political issues, academic reports and research, media and press articles to local news and newsletters.
The newsletters provide an extensive round-up of the latest news. We also provide a service for those who are opposed to hydraulic fracturing by supplying downloadable posters, flyers and presentations, sample letters and links to petitions for signing.

THE FRACK-IN LOUGH ALLEN

Did you hear that in Leitrims Lough Allen
the frackers are planning on Fracking ?
you’ll be woken from sleep as there drilling down deep
At the rock they’ll be blasting and cracking.
(…)

Tis the truth and I’m not a scare monger
that the frackers won’t wait any longer
to frack up the mass and suck out the gas
and pollute all our natural wonder
(…)
