It is understood DAERA is to apply directly to the Supreme Court for leave to challenge a ruling on a gas storage project in Larne Lough. bbc.in/3UEfn3o

I was delighted to be invited to celebrate 15 years of Public Interest Litigation Support at a special evening in the Europa yesterday. Interesting to hear Lady Chief Justice Siobhan mention climate/environment as a growing area of law 👩‍⚖️ Congrats to all the team and huge thanks for everything your doing

GRATEFUL Following the recent DAERA news , our NGC and wider community feel huge disappointment We truly appreciate the kind words of encouragement and support as we face this unwelcome hurdle. Our hearts are very grateful to you all 💚 bit.ly/NGCmeansNGC

…. It probably means that giving planning permission to an oil terminal in Belfast Lough is a really, really bad idea? #COP29Baku

👏👏👏Huge congratulations to @MadamPratolungo for being listed in the 2024 TIME 100 Climate list - richly deserved for a lifelong passion for protection of the environment and her recent stunning landmark Supreme Court victory in Finch v Surrey CC WealdActionGroup.bsky.social Friends of the Earth

We could start by building no new fossil fuel projects. The Government could say no to a new major import and distribution fossil fuel facility at Whitehead, Northern Ireland. So local communities don’t have to keep fighting for our environment, our health, our planet. Stop Whitehead Oil Terminal

GESTURE SPEAKS VOLUMES NI environment dept choice to challenge the Court of Appeals decision has delivered a huge hole in the hearts of our community and those who support our efforts to protect the rights of nature . Grateful for the kind support💚 bit.ly/NGCmeansNGC

Why is the community so disappointed? After years of fighting dirty fossil fuel nature wrecking gas caverns, Minister Muir, who made public commitments to make climate emergency his priority, is trying to overturn #NoGasCaverns successful CofA decision crowdjustice.com/case/new-threa…

NOT HORSIN’ ABOUT Daeras wish to challenge our Court of Appeal substantial win has instigated outcry We’ve no option but to get back on , ride the storm & keep galloping - far too much at stake to let this hurdle prevent justice Can you help 🙏💚 bit.ly/NGCmeansNGC

The inequality in the Quarterlands case is stark: a well-funded developer team, backed by hired experts & high-profile legal representation, stands against a small community group of unpaid volunteers [who] had only 3 minutes to voice environmental & infrastructural concerns."

This is happening in so many places - small groups of volunteers fighting to protect the environment up against wealth and power. We need a properly resourced independent environmental protection agency

Thrilling to see an otter 🦦 this morning on the walk out towards Cloghan Point. Only had my phone so photo not great. Stop Whitehead Oil Terminal want to protect wildlife like this from the threat of a major new oil import & distribution centre. Protect the environment. Protect Belfast Lough.

To the financial institutions & industries backtracking on climate commitments, I want to say loudly & clearly: You’re on the wrong side of history. You’re on the wrong side of science. And you’re on the wrong side of consumers who are looking for more sustainability, not
