Major Rally Against Lough Derg Pipeline Taking Place Today
Published 1 month ago
Description
A major maritime demonstration will take place on the shores of East Clare today in opposition to a large scale infrastructure project.
The protest will highlight objections to Uisce Éireann's €6Bn plan to build a pipeline abstracting water from the River Shannon for use in the Midlands and Greater Dublin Area
The Boat Rally event is being organised by the Lough Derg Anglers and will commence from the Ballina Slipway at 2pm, before sailing onward to the Parteen Basin.
Co-Organiser Cllr Phyll Bugler believes the proposal is deeply flawed.
