INQUIRY SUSPENDED! In adjourning the Inquiry the Commissioner acknowledged that the process has been 'beseiged with difficulties" including Department for Infrastructure "failure to follow its own legislative procedures." Provisional Mid-Inquiry date 26th March. Greencastle5 OurLadyofLourdesPS


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!

Please sign the Act Now petition calling for: 1️⃣ A live stream of the inquiry. 2️⃣ Video recordings of the proceedings to be made publicly available online. 3️⃣ Remote participation for expert witnesses who cannot attend in person. YestoLifeNotoMining EJNI my.actnowni.org/petitions/make…

"Campaigners have warned the world’s largest metals market, the London Metal Exchange (LME), that it could be breaking the law by allowing the trading of copper from one of the world’s most controversial mines."

Having noticed that the Economy NI website map seemed to be several years out of date I requested an update with the new Mineral Prospecting Licences noted.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
