The Meenbog Peat Slide

Meenbog landslide still unsolved after 2.5yrs, now Gweebarra faces similar risks. 10yrs and still no Wind Energy Guidelines published!

The Government claims helplessness, but our environment and communities need protection. It’s beyond time to act!

Holland J. directs that further development at Meenbog windfarm is prohibited pending ABP decision in the substitute consent application. Good explanation of how precautionary principle and proportionality was applied in the case.

Recall the shocking 2020 Meenbog bog slide? 2.5 years later, we still await investigation results.

Wind farm developments continue despite risks. Why is there no action? It's time for answers Tánaiste!

Coillte This is how Leave No Trace is in #Meenbog near the beautiful Barnesmore Gap in #Donegal where the walk is closed off for 6 years the community had been enjoying and walking for hundreds of years.

Gweebarra Conservation Group BirdsMatter_ie BirdWatch Ireland Planree Ltd admit there are nesting #HenHarriers at #Meenbog where they want to finish the wind farm after causing 86,240m3 of #Peat to flow down hill & pollute local Rivers.
There's nothing sustainable about turbines on #peat bogs!

Government claims they can't influence planning or investigations, yet we've seen 10yrs of no guidelines and 2.5 yrs with no Meenbog landslide report.

It's absurd for the government to claim helplessness while our environment is at risk. It's time to act!

Developer of controversial Meenbog Wind Farm seeks planning changes - donegaldaily.com/2024/01/26/dev…

Unfortunately I find myself again objecting to a wind farm, this time on a bog in Donegal. No lessons learned from 2020 Meenbog landslide & right beside an SAC salmon river. If it was really emissions we were concerned about we would be restoring bogs not building on them

Coillte told to release records it holds on a massive peat slide that took place three years ago.

The event happened at Meenbog Windfarm in Donegal in November 2020 when thousands of tonnes of material were dislodged.

Calling people NIMBYs because they want to protect #peat bogs from industrialists who only want to make profits is the definition of #Greenwash !
Remember #Meenbog ! We do.

10 years later, still no wind energy guidelines. #Meenbog bog slide investigation still pending. Our government's neglect puts #Donegal 's environment at risk. Long overdue answers and accountability are needed. 🌿

Fears over repeat of Meenbog disaster - donegaldaily.com/?p=488759

Coillte refused to release all 52 records related to a peatside at Meenbog in Donegal (windfarm project)

RTÉ News In other areas the peat is just being washed away by windfarm construction, the very windfarms that are meant to save the planet!!

'He surveyed the landscape, took a short stroll then stopped decisively, declaring: ‘This it.’
‘It?’ What was ‘it?’ We were in the middle of a road in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by bogland...' Peter Trant is up first this morning with A Border Journey #Meenbog #Carrigans
