Cynically, in the same week that the PAC/WAC had to adjourn the Inquiry into the toxic planning application which threatens to destroy #TheSperrinsAONB, Economy NI, have now accepted 8 Mineral Prospecting Licence Applications covering Counties Tyrone, Fermanagh, Derry & Armagh🤯

Members of CAIM from Donegal and TreasureLeitrim gave important testimony to the inquiry on how legal requirements for transboundary consultation was failed by Department for Infrastructure! This is an all-Island issue - nature knows no borders!

It'll be very interesting to see how the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive will impact on the threat of toxic extractivism not only in the Sperrins AONB, but across the island as the number of prospecting licences granted by greedy government department's grows.

Having noticed that the Economy NI website map seemed to be several years out of date I requested an update with the new Mineral Prospecting Licences noted. Sobering information into the advances of a completely unsustainable industry. Have contacted @Dept_ECC for similar info.

After lobbying Fermanagh & Omagh District Council for years it's great to see them acknowledging & opposing the flawed Economy NI process which is in essence a 'presumption in favour' of granting mineral prospecting licences The total lack of community engagement is evident & needs to be addressed
